Amidst a rapidly changing society, anxiety can drive desire for a return to a past that never was. Join us for an exploration of America’s unique brand of nostalgia and the cost we pay for romanticizing our history.
This program is part of our Thursday Nights @ the Museum series. Join us every Thursday from Jan. 22 until May 7 for concerts, films, and free talks in the Longmont Museum’s Stewart Auditorium.
