Ends:
Tuesday, 06 August 2024
Join us as we explore events and stories of the Huon Valley and surroundings, circa 1920’s- 1970’s.
From fetes and apple carving to child rearing and mass production - all contrasted by the social miseries during a time of post war redevelopment.
With the help of the Cygnet Living History Museum, we delve into both a formal and informal account of a deciding period in the Apple Isle, and why such a booming industry almost collapsed.
This event is in collaboration with Hobart State Library and Archive Service Cygnet Living History Museum.
