Richfield Relives Christmas 1977

The Richfield History Center has opened its newest display.

The Richfield History Center is giving visitors a glimpse into the past with its newest exhibit "Richfield Christmas 1977."

The exhibit features scenes from a typical 1970s Christmas, with the colors orange and green overwhelming the Christmas tree itself. This could be the beginning of a tradition, with the center picking a different year to bring back each holiday season, according to a Sun Current article.

The display can be viewed until Jan. 7, 2012 from noon to 8 p.m. Wednesdays and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call the Richfield History Center at 612-798-6140.

And if you missed the center's recent "History in Plain Sight" exhibit, .

Too cool! I will be bringing my mom with me to see this! Love the Orange couch!

Very cool. I wonder where they get all this stuff!

Many of the "artifacts" are on loan from Richfielders.
A little macrame here...a vintage star wars comic there...it took a savvy intern, though, to find a 1977 Farrah Fawcett thermal mug (it was her dad's)!

That is awesome! My dad constantly holds on to things, so If you do something from the 50s next year, my dad has his old wooden sled!

I would love to see Dunn Brother's come back. The parking is the major problem. But I hope theyRead More don't utilize the idea to eliminate lanes on Lyndale. It is already like driving behind a funeral procession - often as slow as 15-20 miles an hour. It is so annoying.

The fact that the parking lot is hidden makes it appear as though there is little parking, and IRead More think that hurts business there. I think Dunn bros would be awesome but the store is too small for them... The bean roaster would take up 1/2 the store...

That's good advice. Also keep in mind that your reactions to the event probably won't be imitatedRead More while your children are young. But as they grow older, they'll subconsciously remember your reactions and that will greatly influence how they respond to these situations in adulthood. So if you're someone who started swearing at the TV about Muslim terrorists, or you wept for the victims, or you prayed for the souls of the perpetrators, you should expect your reaction to ultimately have far more influence on your child than the discussions mentioned in this article.

Exactly, Chris Mau!!! Kids live what they learn at home. If we treat kids with respect, as well asRead More how we present the facts of life, kids will grow to become empathetic, meaning, they will care and have compassion for the world around them. If they see us cussing out different races, creeds and colors or origins, they will grow up mean, spiteful and cynical. It's all up to US adults people...who's willing to step to the plate and be that example? These children, they are our future....how they grow depends on us.
