SUMMARY:Museum on Main Street in La Junta
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Humanities will tour “Crossroads: Change in Rural America\,” a Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibit to 10 Colorado communities August 2023 to December 2024. The exhibit takes a broad look at the characteristics of rural America\, how an attraction to and interaction with the land formed the basis of rural America\, and how these communities and small towns evolve. \nThe exhibition opens in La Junta at Otero College\, 1802 Colorado Ave La Junta\, CO 81050\, on January 22\, 2024 and will be on view through March 2\, 2024 before moving to the other communities. \nAbout “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” \n“Crossroads” explores how rural American communities changed in the 20th century. Currently\, most of the United States landscape remains rural with only 3.5% of the landmass considered urban. Since 1900\, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60% to 17%. The exhibition looks at that remarkable societal change and how rural Americans responded. \nAmericans have relied on rural crossroads for generations. These places where people gather to exchange goods\, services\, culture\, and engage in political and community discussions are an important part of our cultural fabric. Despite the massive economic and demographic impacts brought on by these changes\, America’s small towns continue to creatively focus on new opportunities for growth and development.

SUMMARY:Meet Annie Oakley – History Speakers Bureau
DESCRIPTION:Our History Speakers Bureau program brings engaging living history presentations to libraries\, schools\, and other organizations throughout Colorado. Join us and Pueblo Public Library as we meet Elsa Oakley. \nPresented by Elsa Wolff\, Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) was much more than a noted pilot. She pushed through social barriers and served as a role model and inspiration to many – both men and women – because of her courage\, determination and spirit of adventure. In a time when girls were expected to behave like ladies\, Amelia pushed through social expectations even from a young age. Overcoming a family who moved frequently and an alcoholic father\, she continued to look for meaning and adventure in her life. Amelia’s life story reveals the developing world view from the turn of the century into the Great Depression\, including: the development of the machine age and aviation; the rising role of women in unconventional careers; and the impact of marketing on public image. She became an American hero during a time when there was a national obsession with record setting/breaking as the world was suddenly looking at Americans as trend-setters\, whereas for centuries America had been trying to emulate Europe. Amelia spoke out with passion on the issues of women striving for equality in education\, career opportunity and wages. A supporter of the nation’s new airline industry\, she also helped pave the way for people to look at travel by airplane as a viable and reliable means of transportation.

SUMMARY:Meet Erma Bombeck  – History Speakers Bureau
DESCRIPTION:Our History Speakers Bureau program brings engaging living history presentations to libraries\, schools\, and other organizations throughout Colorado. Join us and Cornerstone Community Churc as we meet Erma Bombeck. \nPresented by Susan Marie Frontczak: Erma Bombeck captured with poignancy and humor the daily life of a new American phenomenon: the suburban housewife. Believing you had to be able to laugh at life to get through it\, she captured the essence of the housewife’s daily struggles in her column “At Wit’s End” three days a week\, eventually appearing in 900 newspapers across the country and in books such as I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression and The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank. She brought to American awareness the life of women whose lives otherwise felt invisible and taken for granted. She let women across America know: You are not alone.
