Whether
you're a child of the Fifties or just curious about lifestyles
from this nostalgic era, The 1950s All-Electric House at
the Johnson County Museum of History offers an eye-opening
look at the technology of the times. Futuristic features
include: hidden televisions, electric curtain openers,
trendy appliances and "moon glow" lighting. Step
inside this "house of the future" and it's suddenly
1954 all over again!
A family home for forty years, The 1950s All-Electric
House is once again a model house. The house was relocated
from its original site in Prairie Village to the Museum
of History in 1994. Guided tours of the All-Electric
House help visitors learn why a home in the suburbs was
part of the American dream after World War II.

for kids 12 and under. Tickets sold only on first-come,
first-served basis. Group rates available.
