Veterans Memorial & Museum Program Proved Educational
Just ahead of Veterans Day, we welcomed the National Veterans Memorial and Museum for a presentation on Thursday, November 2 at 6:00 p.m. in the library’s community room on level B2. This program for all ages proved very interesting and educational.
Special thanks to Museum Educator Taylor Shaw for his discussion and activity on “How to be a Curator” and presentation of quite a large collection of military artifacts to give you an up-close view of what a Veterans experience included. The artifacts are touchable items. Some of the artifacts included the following:
Civil War
Union Civil War Sword Belt (no sword)
Uniforms
WW2 Nurse’s dress uniform with seersucker operating apron
Merchant Marines Dress Blue Jacket, WWII
Army BDU blouse from 1980s
Air Force BDU blouse from 1980s
Pilots Flight Suit from 1980s
Backpacks
