NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Residents at Trinity Grove Nursing Facility in Monkey Junction are going back in time this week.

The facility gathered various artifacts and set up a museum each day representing different decades in history. Monday their exhibit was of the 20s, Tuesday the 30s, Wednesday the 40s and Thursday they will celebrate the 50s.

Staff will dress up in period attire, complete with poodle skirts. They even have restored cars that will be at the nursing facility Thursday from 11 a.m. to noon.

Family members of residents of the facility are pleased that Trinity Grove are creating a “lively and cheerful place for our elders to receive the care they need in an environment unlike most facilities.”
