Question: What is a “Trunk Tour”?
Answer: Imagine a dozen senior citizens gathered in the parlor of their residence eagerly anticipating the arrival of a special guest. Sense the excitement building as Marilyn enters the building with her “trunk”. See the pleasure on the faces of the residents as they recognize a vintage evening gown, a top hat, an old doll, a Lionel train, the carousel horse, or a 1930’s radio. Hear the reassuring words of FDR, the sweet melodies of Kate Smith and the magic voice of Al Jolson. Join in as Marilyn leads a round of “You Made Me Love You” or “Take Me Out To The Ball Game”. Touch the satin of a war bride’s gown, the delicant pink knits of a long ago nursery, and the cold steel of the depression era ice tongs. Smell the scent of “Evening in Paris. Listen as residents share their personal recollections of these sights, sounds, and smells. Share the joy. This is a “Trunk Tour”.
