Speaker Series: World War II Massachusetts
May 17 @ 2:00 pm, ending 3:30 pm
Free with standard museum admission
Join us at the American Heritage Museum on Friday, May 17th, 2:00 – 3:30 PM for a special presentation from Author James Parr on his book World War II Massachusetts.
More than 500,000 Massachusetts residents answered the call to military duty in the Second World War, while the rest of the state’s citizens fought the war on the Homefront. Everyone in the family, including pets, found creative and essential ways to contribute. Thousands worked in factories, volunteered for Civil Defense, watched for enemy aircraft and took part in salvage collections and bond drives, all while dealing with rationing, blackouts, rumors and a host of other war-time inconveniences. And while thousands of service members left to fight overseas, the Bay State also welcomed thousands more to serve on its military bases that were such an important part of our nation’s defense.
Author James Parr will reveal the stories of these brave men and dedicated citizens – from the famous to the ordinary – as they faced war-time challenges.
