King Museum looking for help to create commemorative war display

December 30, 2013   ·   0 Comments

As you may be aware, 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War.
The museum would like to put on a display that, among many things, would highlight the veterans from our community and look at the effect of the war on King Township.
Ways we could do this include showcasing biographies of soldiers and their families; by showing the economic impact of the war on local economy and family livelihood; showing how things were before the war and how they had changed after, etc.
I am looking  for group of volunteers who would be interested in assisting with this commemorative exhibit. Assistance could be provided through ideas, sharing of family photos or letters, loan of artifacts, research for text panels, and/or assembling the exhibit.
Please let me know if you might be interested in helping and I will set up a brain storming meeting in January of 2014.
The plan is for the exhibit to run from August to December 2014, so we can reach the school children and be in place during November and Remembrance Day.
