“98 Years Since the Sun Went Out: The Solar Eclipse of 1925”
Sponsored by Max Pies Furniture
Come to the Holland Land Office Museum and see a snapshot of 1925 through our upcoming exhibit, “98 Years Since the Sun Went Out” on display from November 2023 to April 2024. Experience living in Genesee County in 1925, the last time we witnessed the total solar eclipse in our area. Go back in time and see what people wore, what our community looked like, where people shopped and worked, their home lives, and how they saw and reacted to the eclipse. The exhibit features images, newspaper articles, clothing, household artifacts, local business memoribilia, and more from Batavia & Genesee County circa 1925.

Have fun in our Pioneer Kitchen learning and guessing what different objects were used for. Feel for yourself how heavy a cast iron pot is or see how people of the time period made toast. Experience everything our pioneer kitchen has to offer, including butter churns, bed warmers, a spinning wheel, and sewing machines. Also on display are artifacts of some of Genesee County’s early industries. Take a step back and imagine what life would have been like in the pioneer days.
