By 1930, the radio had become so popular that it merited its own column on the national census. Did you or did you not own your own radio? This was certainly not a question on the 1920 census when the radio, homemade or store-bought, was just making headway into the American home. Caitlin Eckard, Executive Director of the Jackson County Historical Society, will tell us about the most ubiquitous invention to modernize the 1920’s and its powerful impact upon the lives of every homeowner in the country during the dawn of the “Electric Era.”
The Big Rip Brewing Company, a growing 4 BBL brewery in North Kansas City, will be the featured local craft brewery.
Please note that face masks will be required for this event.
