What does Disneyland, roll–on deodorant, Elvis, and hula hoops have in common?  They all had their start in the 1950s!  This year, the Knight-Sutton Museum opens its doors to another great exhibit, Rag Tops, Sock Hops, and Rock & Roll: The Nifty Fifties.  The exhibit holds displays that celebrate the 50s decade including global, national and local history; the entertainment industry; and the lifestyle of the era.

Regular hours through the rest of April to November are:

·  every Wednesday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm

·  the first Sunday of every month from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm

·  Special hours will be announced as the year progresses

·   Other days and times can be arranged by calling museum director, Marybeth Whiting, at 542-7022
