Depression Glass: A Colorful Diversion in a Difficult Era

Although the Depression era conjures up images of grim poverty, this new exhibit at the Old State Capitol focuses on the everyday items that Americans collected, made, or used to bring a little light into their lives. Dozens of Depression glass patterns, shapes, and colors, which have been lent by local collectors, are displayed in the Old State Capitol's newest nostalgia-inducing exhibit, open from September 6—October 31. 100 North Boulevard.
