Civil Defense Collection
September 6, 2008 to December 31, 2008
Civil defense supplies were stored in the basement of the former Wachovia bank building on route 29 in Pennsburg. The collection consists of crackers, medical supplies, toilet paper which were placed in the building at the beginning of the waning of the Cold War in February 1963. Events that followed, including the assassination of Kennedy and the Vietnam War would shift the focus a away from the fears of nuclear attack that were so prevalent in the 1950s.
