When America Hits the Road: The Early Years of Our Automotive Culture 

CARA hundred years ago, an exciting new technology was transforming America: the automobile. This program, led by historian John Maietta, will feature the history of that colorful era, when the first “horseless carriages” were giving way to sporty roadsters, classy limousines, and the ubiquitous Model T Ford. As you’ll learn, the story of our country’s early car culture was driven by unprecedented prospects for freedom and mobility – along with the mixed blessings of high-speed roads, expanding suburbs, installment loans, and parking meters. Weather permitting, you’ll have an opportunity to see a beautifully restored 1931 Model A Ford – and even honk the horn – Ah-OOH-ga! Register online beginning August 1.
