The "Good Manners: Everyday Etiquette Past & Present" exhibitition takes a look at the etiquette of everyday life by comparing the rules of the past with the present.

The exhibit will be at the San Joaquin County Historical Museum March 31-May 23, 2010. The exhibit focuses on four areas of American life: table manners, manners at work, manners out and about, and entertaining at home. All of the artifacts used in the exhibit will come from the Museum’s own collection or will be borrowed from Society Members.

Treasures highlighted in the exhibit will include men’s and women’s clothing, a late 1920s telephone, calling cards, fine china and silverware, and books on etiquette.

The “mini-exhibit” was initially developed by the Hayward Area Historical Society and has been made available through the California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA).
