Stop by J. Dostie’s Jewelers, 4 Lisbon Street to see Museum L-A’s 1920s mini-exhibit in a series of panels that feature both national and local events in captions and images. These panels represent movements and inventions that forever changed Lewiston-Auburn and the country. It is a time so historically significant that we can still feel the reverberations today. The exhibit complements Museum L-A’s current exhibition, The Roaring 20s to Swing, which explores how historic events — World War I, the Great Influenza, Prohibition — affected the development of jazz, America’s true musical movement. The exhibition is currently on display at Museum L-A at 35 Canal Street.
