Sorry over 40 crowd, this #WhatIsItWednesday post

Sorry over 40 crowd, this #WhatIsItWednesday post is for millennials only!

We often think of history as things that happened hundreds of years before us. However, time still moves forward. The things we remember from our childhoods, our children’s childhoods, and even our grandchildren’s childhoods, will one day be historic artifacts like these items in our collection from the 2000’s! Here we have an iMac G3, iBook G3, 2 Nokia cell phones, an anti-skip portable CD player, and Barbies in classic Y2K fashion.

These items tell just as much of a story as arrowheads, victorian tea sets, and edwardian rag dolls. They tell stories of the owners and their specific time in history. Some day, we may use these items in an exhibit on life in Wood County at the start of the new millennium. Until then, it's fun to look back and reminisce! What was your favorite Y2K trend?

Our curator (Holly) has been very busy with getting items/objects moved to their new homes in the new collections storage! We can't wait to show off this amazing project, but we ask for your patience as this is a huge task and will take us some time. But we promise the wait will be worth it!
