Naomi Helen Yaeger dives into the Great Depression and the WWII home front, sharing how writing Blooming Hollyhocks: Tales of Joy During Hard Times made her a self-appointed expert on the Great Depression and 1940s (and she loved every minute).

MEAD MUSEUM

 

Naomi will present for all ages, coloring pages for children and adults, storytelling, and reading aloud from her book about children attending a one-room schoolhouse on the Yankton/Clay County line and riding a horse to high school in Gayville. There will be stories about children's chores, trivia about the U.S. and the Midwest, banjo playing and singing, some Great Depression treats, and some book swag. Books Blooming Hollyhocks: Tales of Joy During Hard Times, as well as a companion devotional, will be available for sale and signing. 

 

 
The Mead Museum provides visitors with an authentic historical experience in a beautiful 1909 building.  3 floors of exhibits to explore: an interactive Children's Transportation Museum, a Lewis & Clark exhibit – featuring a rare 4" Jefferson Peace Medal - as well as artifacts from the history of the Yankton State Hospital and Yankton College. Also, the ever-evolving exterior of Heritage Park will bring history to life through buildings such as the 1906 Gunderson schoolhouse, a Great Northern Railroad Depot, and more. Temporary exhibits highlighting Dakota Territory and Yankton County history change each summer.
