For Rhode Island and America, the 1920s were a time of exciting new technologies, unprecedented cultural change and growing pains. This summer, Hearthside brings the stories of the 1920s to life … from early jazz, dance crazes, fabulous fashion, and live radio to prohibition, speakeasies, intolerance and scandals. Activities include demonstrations of an early radio broadcast, airing of silent movies, a variety of entertainment on the stage, presentations about a variety of topics from the 20s, fashion commentary, demonstrations of Charleston, makeup and hair style, vintage clothing vendors, and music on the grounds of this 200-year old house. Inside the museum, there will be exhibit panels, image displays, and artifacts on display.

Admission: $12 Adults, $6 Children 13 or younger
