SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: "A Little off the Top": The History and Artistry of Barber Bottles
DESCRIPTION:Barber Bottles are among the most beautiful types of bottles. Designed and blown for barbers to use in their practice\, they were filled with colognes\, perfumes and other fragrances; hair tonics; shampoos; anti-dandruff tonics and other remedies. Barbers typically filled their own bottles\, using the shapes\, colors and sizes to differentiate which bottles held which products. The heyday of barber bottle manufacture was from the 1870s up until almost the 1920s\, by which point new laws and new commercially available products led to the bottles falling out of favor. Still\, they were manufactured for decorative purposes well into the 21st century. \nThis exhibit highlights bottles from the 1860s through the 1940s\, and includes artifacts of glass\, porcelain and silver. As “working bottles\,” many show patterns of wear\, although the artistry of each shines through.

SUMMARY:Lost Regional Sodas Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Whether called soda\, pop\, tonic\, or even coke\, for most of the 18th and 19th centuries\, towns\, cities and regions had their own popular local soft drinks. Most were created by and sold through small bottling houses based on local flavors and regional character. \n\n\n\n\nDuring the 1950s-1970s\, most of these bottlers were purchased by larger companies like Pepsi and either closed or shifted to make that company’s beverages. When the regional drinks did not find popularity with a larger audience\, they were discontinued. \n\n\n\nWhile some regional sodas like Moxie\, Cheerwine\, and Ale 8-one are still available\, most were gone before the end of the 1980s. We celebrate many of these lost sodas in this exhibit.
