After a great lunch at Soho on Broad Street, take a trip back to the 1950s and learn what it was like in this area from Sophia Latz, Preservation Program Manager for Thomasville Landmarks. She will rewind the clock sixty years to frightening days of the cold war when families and cities built atomic bomb shelters and kids learned to ‘duck and cover’. In the newly upgraded lower
level of the Thomasville History Center there exists a real bomb shelter that has just recently been opened to the public! To get you in the 50s spirit you
will get a chance to make a modern art painting using Jackson Pollock’s wild drip style. While we paint we’ll listen to a little 50s pop music and invite those of us who remember those great years to tell their tales.
