Sir Malcolm Campbell at the wheel of the "Bluebird", with crowd, 1926 - 1936 |
The 1920s - 1940s are most interesting to me. There was the Roaring Twenties, Black Thursday, the Depression, Volstead Act, Women's History; the list goes on and on. I also find the Gregorian, Victorian, Edwardian era interesting as well. I hope you enjoy your visit!

![]() |
| Tasmanian tiger, The last living specimen died in Hobart zoo in 1936, The thylacine also Thylacinus cynocephalus, Greek for "dog-headed pouched one") was the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times. It is commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger (because of its striped back) or the Tasmanian wolf. Native to continental Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea, it is thought to have become extinct in the 20th century. The Tasmanian tiger was hunted to extinction in the wild. The last known specimen died in captivity in 1936, but several museums around the world still hold tissue samples preserved in alcohol. |
