It’s #PhotoIDFriday! 📸 Can you help us identify the "party people" in this photo? This lively bunch was captured at a Depression Party held at the American Legion Hut in Springdale during the 1930s. During the Great Depression, these themed parties were a popular way to boost community morale through humor. We would love to put names to these faces! If you recognize anyone or have a story to share, let us know in the comments. 📢 Note: If you share this post, please tag the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History so we can keep up with the conversation and record any new information!
