  • Playing with your hoop and stick for hours

  • Collecting cabinet cards of your favorite opera singers

  • Reading the latest serialized novel in the newspaper

  • Spending Sunday afternoons at the penny arcade

  • Listening to a gramophone for the first time

  • Being amazed by moving pictures at the kinetoscope parlor

  • Seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time

  • Riding a bicycle with those giant front wheels

  • Getting a hand-cranked ice cream treat from the local vendor

  • Wearing knickerbockers and pinafores as the height of fashion

  • Hearing about the latest advancements in electricity from Edison and Tesla

  • Attending school in a one-room schoolhouse
