Pavement and Plucky Girls: 1920s Tales from Washington’s First Highway presented by Humanities Washington!
Free program March 3 at 6:00
Presented by the Yakima Valley Museum and Humanities Washington
Join us for a free program presented by Museum educator, and speaker Teresa Andre on March 3 at 6:00 at the Yakima Valley Museum.
Travel 1920s Washington State along one of the first modern highways—the Yellowstone Trail—which ran from here to Massachusetts. Along the way, meet the people and places grappling with the dizzying changes this new innovation brought.
From the young people who gained new freedoms—including the women who stunned Pullman by driving without a male escort, to the bootleggers, bachelors, and flappers who drove, walked, and hitchhiked the newfangled road. Join educator Teresa Andre for a series of fascinating stories that lay at the dawn of our car-obsessed culture.
The event is free and open to the public, registration is not required.
