Coming of Age in Johnson County (KS): 1960 - 1976
 For the country, the county, and the Baby Boomer generation, the 1960's
and 70's were a rite of passage. These decades challenged Americans to ask
fundamental questions about the way they were living. What is our nation's
place in the world? Does everyone deserve equal rights? What role should
the government, both nationally and at the local level, play in our lives?
Is it really a good idea wear a paisley tie with a powder blue polyester
leisure suit? Check out this fascinating exhibit to explore how local
residents responded to the issues of the times! Free Admission
