The Way We Worked is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sept. 20 to Nov. 8, in the Limestone County Event Center. "The Way We Worked" reaches into the rich holdings of the National Archives to explore how work has changed in America over the last 100 years. Hear from workers today and from the past in engaging videos and audio recordings. See how work has changed through artifacts. S
hare your work story with America. With their hands and minds hard at work and sweat on their brows, American workers perform a diverse array of jobs to power our society. Whether we work for professional satisfaction and personal growth or to ensure the well-being of ourselves and our families, work is a part of nearly every American’s life. Office workers, factory workers, homemakers, truckers and the millions more who keep the nation going through their work make great contributions not only to industry, but also to American culture. Admission is free to this event. For more information about The Way We Worked in Athens, visit www.thewayathensworks.com or contact Rebekah Davis at 256-233-6404 or [email protected].
