Tinker Time: Toys of the 1920s

How was daily life during the 1920s oil boom similar to, but also different from life today in 2021? The discovery of oil in south Arkansas brought more wealth and new businesses to the region. People purchased many of the new factory-made products that debuted during the decade, but the tradition of homemade toys continued. Discover some of the popular toys of the 1920s oil boom, as you design your own toy made from recycled and other materials. Due to limited space, registration is required for this program.
