"Junk from the Trunk" at Linden Place Museum

Jun 1, 2012 to Jul 6, 2012
10:00 am until 4:00 pm

Linden Place Museum is hosting “Junk from the Trunk”, a rotating exhibit of DeWolf and Colt family memorabilia, throughout the museum’s 2012 tour season. These displays from the museum’s own collection will introduce visitors to never before seen research, artifacts, photographs and documents, giving a whole new perspective on the history of this fascinating Bristol family.

Linden Place’s “Junk from the Trunk” exhibits also explore universal themes, such as childhood, work, and recreation, related to Linden Place as well as the experiences of others from the time period and today.

Each month will bring a different exhibit to the mansion’s formal dining room.

From June 1 to July 6: "Game On" will take a look at vintage toys from the '50s and '60s that are American-made. They represent a look at a period when board games were the popular form of entertainment for families and reflected American themes of sports, sputnik and the history of the West.
