Calling All Local WWII Veterans!Every October, as part of our “Battle for the Airfield” WWII reenactment, we host a WWII veterans round table discussion, giving us the unique opportunity to learn about history from those who lived it. This year, we are looking for as many local WWII veterans as possible to attend. The round table will be hosted once a day on both Saturday and Sunday, October 10th and 11th, at the American Heritage Museum, located at 568 Main Street, Hudson, MA. So, if you know a WWII veteran that may be interested in sharing their story, please reach out to our Education Coordinator, Jim Carroll, at Jcarroll@AmericanHeritageMuseum.org for more details. We would be more than happy to host you!#AmericanHeritageMuseum #AmericanVeterans #VisitMA #LivingHistory ... See MoreSee Less
