Remembering Century 21: A Community History Project
In the spirit of the 50th anniversary of Century 21, MOHAI invites you to explore the memories, memorabilia, and myths of Seattle’s 1962 World’s Fair through a series of free community-wide workshops. Co-hosted by Seattle Public Library, King County Library System, and the Seattle Center Foundation, this series of workshops and seminars will teach you the skills needed to discover, document, and share the fascinating history of one of Seattle’s most influential events through the use of personal experiences and collections.
Visit our calendar for a complete list of programs.
