SMITHFIELD – The Johnston County Museum will open a new exhibit entitled “Living Under a Mushroom Cloud: The Early Cold War Years,” on Saturday, April 20, at 11 am.
“This was a time of monumental changes and turning points in our history,” says Heritage Center and Museum Director Todd Johnson. “The exhibit will resonate with senior residents who lived through this era, but also with younger generations who inherited its legacies.”
Sula Hansley of Four Oaks will be present to share stories of her journey from war-torn Berlin to Johnston County.
The museum is located at 329 E. Market Street in Smithfield. For more information, visit www.jcheritagecenter.org, call 919-934-2836, or send an email to heritagecenter@johnstonnc.com.
