A traveling exhibit exploring Coney Island will be on display through March 16 at the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center, 2020 Clean Water Drive in Buford.

The exhibit, adapted from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art’s exhibition “Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland, 1861 – 2008,” investigates the rise of American leisure and traces Coney Island’s influence on amusement parks and popular culture throughout the country. The exhibit includes photographs, ephemera, film clips, and information and fun hands-on activities for adults and children.
