There will be a brief business session at 7:00 pm, followed by the program & refreshments. Free and open to the public. Bring a friend. One hundred years ago, millions of Americans traveled to Europe to fight or took on new responsibilities at home during the “War to End War” or the “Great War.” World War I changed how Americans worked, lived, and saw the world. Explore how World War I touched Connecticut, from manufacturing and military service to relief drives and victory gardens. Michael Limberg is a historian specializing in the history of US Foreign Policy. He recently completed his PhD in History at the University of Connecticut, where he currently serves as a lecturer. You’re Invited But even if you aren’t a member, our monthly history-themed programs are free and the public is warmly invited. The business session starts at 7:00. If you want to skip it and come just for the program, arrive about 7:30. The Canterbury Historical Society’s regular monthly meetings are on the second Friday evening of the month unless otherwise noted. We don’t meet in July and August, when we take a summer break, although we often hold special events over the summer. Not on our mailing list? And don’t miss us on Facebook and Twitter. |
