Current Exhibits:Shake, Rattle 'n' Roll: Laurel in the 1950s

Come Explore a Community in Transition.In 1950 the population of the City of Laurel numbered just over 4,000. The residentswent to Main Street to shop and to spend time with friends and neighbors. The schoolswere segregated and so largely was the community.During the 1950s changes in society shook basic beliefs and fears rattled the status

quo. As Laurel rolled into the future its residents found their lives shifting in manyways. By 1960, Laurels population doubled to over 8,000. The social and commercialcenter was no longer Main Street. The shiny new Shopping Center on Route 1 becamethe place to shop and socialize.What happened to Laurel between 1950 and 1960? How did national trends affect Lau-rel? Why did the town change so drastically? Join us as we explore Laurel in the 1950s,a community in transition.

Also on Exhibit:Laurel: A Mill Town FirstThis exhibit area gives visitors an overview of Laurels early mill history. Photos, andartifacts from the mill period.

Bert Sadler PhotographsThese photographs illustrate what life was like in Laurel during the early 20th century.
