1969


In a single five-week period during the summer of 1969, three American astronauts landed on the moon; more than a hundred thousand hippies grooved at Woodstock; Charles Manson’s “family” terrorized Los Angles; and scion of America’s most celebrated modern political dynasty found himself embroiled in a scandal in Chappaquiddick. Our display case is celebrating the year 1969, has it really been 40 years? Yes it has, and we take a look at it from the Beatles last rooftop jam in London to the war in Vietnam and the birthday of a former Packer football player. That football player was born October 10, 1969 in Gulfport, Mississippi
