Welcome to our time machine! In this fascinating new multimedia presentation, we will put the wild, unique, and absolutely unprecedented year of 1969 in perspective!

In 1969 America was in turmoil. With the seemingly endless war in Vietnam entering a deadly phase, a quarter million protestors marched on Washington. The new President Richard Nixon was sworn in promising to heal the wounds of our fractured nation. Explore how the year veered from unbelievable highs to unfathomable lows.
