SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Hop into History Roaring Twenties at Oden Brewing Company
DESCRIPTION:New date TBA \nPopup exhibition and history meet-up with UNC Greensboro Archives & Special Collections \nThe 1920s were a time of massive growth in Greensboro. The new 17-story Jefferson Building opened in 1923 as the tallest and largest office building in the South. The city annexed neighboring communities and the population grew to the point of making Greensboro the third largest city in North Carolina. Downtown growth included a new railroad station\, the Carolina Theatre\, and the King Cotton Hotel. \nUNCG Archives and Special Collections organizes monthly Hop into History meetups with different Triad History partners. This month the Greensboro History Museum is joining in to focus on the Roaring Twenties and the changes from 100 years ago that continue to affect the Gate City today. \nHistory is for everyone! This event is free\, and open to all. Join us for a trip back to the 1920s – no TARDIS required!
