In continued celebration of the renovated Military Room, join us to explore WWII home front life across several Old Colony towns and cities including Camp Myles Standish.

Over 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 home front. Everyone in the family, including pets, found creative and essential ways to contribute.

In his latest book, retired third grade teacher James L. Parr reveals the stories of these brave and dedicated citizens–from the famous to the ordinary–as they faced wartime challenges.

This lecture is free thanks to the generosity of our corporate sponsors. Doors open at 5:30pm; guests are invited to enjoy refreshments and chat with fellow attendees prior to the lecture. Book signing to follow. Books are priced at $24.99.
