Can you dig it? There was Watergate, a gas shortage, and the Beatles broke up. But there was also groovy music, the invention of the mobile phone, an increased push for equal rights, and Star Wars! Join Lakehouse Bakery owner Keegan Rodgers and local history writer & storyteller Patti Smith as they take you to foods in the 70s! Get the skinny on the food fads of the decade and keep on truckin' through some far out history facts. As always, the event is free and will feature outta sight treats. Catch you on the flip side!

Drop-in to watch video segments from AADL's Living Oral History Project and discover more about local African American history. 

These video interviews of residents recalling their past serve as a road map illustrating what local African Americans witnessed, experienced, and contributed to building the community we share today.

The decade that started with Camelot and ended with Woodstock also brought us some choice food! Pop Tarts, Doritos, and Gatorade made the scene. Many were jazzed to pig out on fondue, sparkling Jello molds and Ambrosia cake.

The African American Cultural & Historical Museum of Washtenaw County, dedicated to telling the stories of the history and culture of African Americans in Washtenaw County, began as a museum without walls in 1996. 

Due to circumstances beyond our control, this event has been canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.
