The Roaring Twenties! NEW
Class | Registration opens 12/6/2026 9:00 AM EDT
No other decade in American history has been as definitive in terms of economics, politics, entertainment, communications, sports, crime, literature and overall culture than the 1920s. It’s also known as "The Jazz Age" and by some writers, “The Anything Goes Age.”
In this class, we’ll time travel through those very exciting transforming years focusing on the interesting people (The Sultan of Swat, Lucky Lindy, Scarface Al Capone, Amelia Earhart, Presidents, Clarence Darrow, etc.) and stories (Women’s Suffrage, Prohibition, Jazz, Radio, Scandals, Monkey Trial, Black Friday, etc.) that made the decade ROAR!
