2010 Museum Highlights:
Silent and Classic Movie Nights, held on Saturday, July 10, 17, and 24, were a huge hit! Nearly 1,000 people joined us over the three nights as we celebrated timeless movies and iconic actresses, such as Louise Brooks, Norma Shearer, Theda Bara, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, and Joan Fontaine, from Hollywood's Golden Era. Silent and Classic Movie Nights was sponsored by Vidéothèque. We also thanks Hidden LA for their support and promotion of the movie series.
Nearly 80 guests danced the evening away as the museum had its first Square Dancing of the late 1800s on Saturday, August 14. With Triple Chicken Foot and Caller Cory Marie, visitors of all ages enjoyed listening to Old Time fiddle and banjo tunes and learning American Square Dancing for nearly 2 hours. The museum thanks Triple Chicken Foot and Cory Marie for a wonderful evening of family-friendly music and dancing.
