Vintage selfies at Time and the Valleys

Posted

GRAHAMSVILLE, NY — “Picture Yourself(ie) in the 1930s” is on view at the Time and the Valleys Museum, 332 Main Street (St. Rt. 55), through August.

In this innovative and immersive exhibition, visitors can touch and interact with the entire exhibit. In an un-museum-like experience, different facets of 1930s life come alive as visitors “become” part of them: barbering, laundry, barnyard, school and more, each creating a distinct experiences to delve into, explore, touch and to take and share photos of yourself(ie).

Visitors can ring the bell and sit at a desk of a one-room school, give a friend a “shave” at a barber shop, do laundry the old fashioned way, milk a cow at a barnyard and even use an outhouse (well, hopefully not really use it). “Hands-on” is not just for kids, it is for everyone.

If visitors don’t have a phone or camera, the museum has some to lend, and visitors can also print postcards to take home. For more information visit timeandthevalleysmuseum.org or call 845/985-7700.
