A black crepe mourning bonnet from the Civil War and liquid stockings from World War II are on display. Drawers at the bottom of the timeline lie in wait for a curious soul to open them, revealing treasure chests of more memorabilia. The drawers are arranged by subject, such as nursing or money. However, if a staff member hadn't pointed the drawers out, few probably would have known to open them. As expected, mostly women explored the chambers and corridors of the museum on its opening day.
Older women reminisce as they see items that spark their memories.
I had one of those. They each had a notch for each store you wanted to use it in. Around the corner are multi-colored boxes the size of a large computer screen stacked upon each other. Each section has a theme such as gender roles and health issues, but the cubes are seemingly arranged at random. The multi-media boxes contain quotes, photographs, comic strips and more memorabilia.
