Lunchtime Lecture, Women in the Armed Forces
Lunchtime Lecture, Women in the Armed Forces
The 'Women in the Military' exhibit at the Frontenac Historical Society in Union Springs is part of the Hidden Women's History Room at the museum. Over the last three years, the Museum has undertaken research and presentations of the roles and activities of local women, whose names and activities in the history of women's suffrage have been forgotten---or never noted. The story of the exhibit, as well as the story of women in national military history, and the stories of the local women veterans the Museum discovered fit perfectly into the Hidden Women's History Room. This presentation tells that story and the stories within it of many of the area women who served in the military.
Join Linda Albrecht from the Frontenac Historical Society as she explores the research, conversations, and stories that went into the creation of this newly re-designed exhibit. The lecture will begin at 12 PM in the Carriage House Theater. Program admission is "Pay What You Wish." Outside food is welcome and encouraged for this lecture.
