In its second year, Shawnee Town’s popular series, History on Tap, returns with presentations about the centennial year, 1920, and the best of metro Kansas City’s excellent beers. We begin our celebration of the Roaring Decade, 1920-1929, with a look at how World War I dramatically affected every aspect of life in the early Twenties by Dr. Richard (Shawn) Faulkner, Professor of Military History at the U. S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. Karla Deel, founder and editor of SqueezeBox City, an online magazine dedicated to the history and culture of Kansas City, will follow with a look at 1920. It really was the year that made the Twenties roar – nationally and locally!
