Does anyone know what time it is? Does anyone care? Well, whether you love or despise Daylight Saving Time, learn what led to the invention of time zones and the twice annual confusion of what time it really is. Beth Hall, Ruthmere Volunteer, will present a Gallery Talk entitled "Spring Forward, Fall Back: The Contentious History of Daylight Saving Time", on Wednesday, March 4 at 11 am at the Beardsley Discovery Center.
