Geneva, N.Y.: In conjunction with the exhibit There'll Be Some Changes Made: Geneva in the 1920s, Historic Geneva is hosting two Family and Friends 1920s Game Days at the Geneva History Museum during February Break. Participants can learn about and play card and board games from the 1920s while watching silent films. Familiar games like Old Maid, Sorry!, and Go Fish originated or became widely popular in the 1920s. The game Mahjongg took off in America during this decade. Visitors to the event can try the game at a Mahjongg table with experienced players available to help those who are new to the game.
