This tour begins in the 1940s describing the way of the world following WWII. Though no longer under threat of Nazi rule, new conflict between the U.S.and the U.S.S.R. brewed, pitting individual liberty against the collective endeavor. This division characterized much of the 20th century as we moved into a globalized world. Through the story of the automobile, we’ll see the world accelerate and its various members seek to negotiate new roles.
This tour is especially for those interested in contemporary Columbus, looking at key late-20th century moments and their impacts still evident today. This tour will give you a sense of what Columbus has to offer and a glimpse into how the community has changed in recent decades.
