Weston Historical Society to Commemorate 100TH Anniversary of World War I with A Remembrance. The start of one of the deadliest conflicts in history will be commemorated this coming September and October through a series of movies, lectures and exhibits.
World War I Remembrance Exhibit
September 7, 2014 – November 29, 2014
Weston Historical Society
Here we bring together a wide range of artifacts, photographs and memories of that War. Included are recruiting and other posters with patriotic themes as well as uniforms worn by our “Doughboys.” A special display is devoted to an unlikely hero of the war: New Haven born “Stubby the War Dog,” whose “nose” for impending gas attacks saved many lives and earned him a range of medals. Most importantly, on display are personal memorabilia that ties Weston residents, past and present, directly to the conflict.
The World War I Remembrance series is supported by contributions from Fairfield County Bank and Weston Center Associates and programs are jointly sponsored by the Weston Historical Society and the Friends of the Weston Public Library.
