1920's and 1930's artifacts
These are the artifacts that highlight the most notable changes of society and technology in the 1920's and 1930's. These two decades became important to American History because of the dramatic shift in social circles and politics. During the Roaring Twenties, the movies, radios, and other inventions displayed the radical change towards modernization and new discoveries. The Great Depression in the 1930's brought about change in politics, from FDR's New Deal and support towards everyone from farmers to artists. These two decades saw an improvement of America, from helpful inventions to more structural support in the government.
