Progress - 1898 to 1962

Learn About Our Future from Our Past

Travel through time and interact with the technology from 1898. Then, turn a corner and find yourself a generation later in 1962 in that same town.

From telegraphs to television, Morse Code to telephones, farmer’s market to TV dinners, Progress will help you compare and contrast the changes in our past, while raising questions about our future. See how progress effects life, right at the corner of Hope Street and Fear Street.
