Area's role in Roaring '20s examined

The Crystal Lake Historical Society will present "The Roaring Twenties: Did They Happen Here?" at 1 p.m. March 2 at Park Place, 406 W. Woodstock St., Crystal Lake.

Nancy Fike, Executive Director of the McHenry County Historical Museum, will examine the 1920s and how local history figures in the interpretation of history on a larger scale.

This 10-year period brought change, reaction to change, leisure time, different settlement patterns, new mass technology and the rise of a youth culture.

The free program is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served after the program.
