Gadgets Galore!
Transforming the American Household
January 17 - June 7, 2026
Third Floor Gallery - Hjemkomst Center
Possers, stereoscopes, landlines, and slide projectors? All of these items were at one point the latest in modern technology and a way to show off to your neighbors. Gadgets Galore tells the stories of these objects, how they changed our lives, and the ways they gave way to the modern world. View the world of the 19th century through vintage stereoscopes, test your knowledge on everyday inventions, design your own invention, and more! This exhibit offers a fantastic blend of science, nostalgia, and hands-on learning for all ages.
Gadgets Galore! Transforming the American Household is a traveling exhibition for from Exhibit Envoy, a nonprofit, and Heather Farquhar. This exhibition is based on the initial iterations at the Hayward Area Historical Society and Los Altos History Museum.
