Century of the Child, the -At-Hennepin History Museum May 1, 2009

This Hennepin History Museum exhibition looks at growing up in Hennepin County through a series of "time stations" that examine educating, entertaining, dressing, and putting children to work. You will see how these things impacted a century of kids and shaped the world we live in today. This exhibit will look at everything from rolling hoops to the hula hoops. You will also glimpse the darker side of Hennepin County through subjects such as child labor, abuse, and the notorious baby farms that proliferated in Hennepin County at the turn of the 20th Century.
