The Society’s Resource Center, located at 459 Forest Avenue, on the corner of Tremont Avenue (one block east of Abbottsford Place), will be open the day of Art on Porches from noon to 4pm. Admission is free. |
Enter through the neck of Dreamland, a 35-foot tall replica of the lady’s head that graced the façade of a midway attraction of the same name. The exhibit, a reinstallation that includes the materials housed in the Pan-Am Building during the Centennial, transforms this 100+ year old trolley barn into a Pan-Am Exposition hall. The combined exhibit features “the Little Building,” a rediscovered structure from the Pan-Am grounds, plus artifacts and hands-on displays that explore the exposition’s funny and serious sides.
The Historical Society’s website is here.
