Program Description

For adults and seniors. No registration. 

This self-paced, informal, hands-on program offers the opportunity to remember through music, storytelling, and vintage objects. Listen to old songs on a vintage record player or flip through past issues of LIFE magazine. A typewriter station invites reflection or creative expression, while a letter-writing area features ink pens, fun stationery, stamps, and envelopes, offering the option to write and mail a handwritten note to a loved one. Additional objects- such as model cars, household items, doilies, rotary phones, radios, vintage family photographs, and print media from different decades, help anchor memories and encourage storytelling in a calm, welcoming environment.

Event facilitators will be available in English, Spanish, and German, creating opportunities for participants to engage, share stories, or ask questions in the language they feel most comfortable using.

This program is made possible by Beyond the Page, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Madison Community Foundation.
