14. “Curio Party” was a way to show off your souvenirs.
Like an adult version of show-and-tell, a curio party was an event where people would invite their friends over to bring a souvenir they bought during their travels. In the early 1900’s, cars were a new invention, so it was a lot more interesting to see what kinds of objects were available in far-off towns and states that their friends had probably never seen before. If the game were to be played today, it may not be as interesting as the past, but it could still be worth a try.
