Huron County Museum to launch WWI short films
On Saturday, May 7 the Huron
County Museum will launch two
new short films about World War I
with an afternoon event at the
Museum. Visit the Museum at 110
North St. at 2 p.m. for a first chance
to view the films and explore the
History Hall, which has been
decorated in 1916 fashion. In
addition to previewing the films, the
event will also debut two new iPad
apps in the Military Gallery that
contain photographs, documents,
and letters from the home front and
front lines.
With funding from the
Department of Canadian Heritage,
the successful completion of the
World War I film project allows the
Huron County Museum to share a
fascinating era of Huron County
history with the world. During
WWI, many community groups,
including Women's Institutes,
schools, and churches, made sure
they "did their bit" by knitting socks,
raising money for the Red Cross,
and sending care packages to local
soldiers overseas.
Over 30 local women enlisted as
nursing sisters with the Canadian
Army Medical Corps, serving in
Casualty Clearing Stations and
hospitals in the Mediterranean,
England, France, and Canada. Both
documentaries feature photographs,
letters, and newspapers articles from
the Huron County Archives
collection.
The museum is making Huron
County's WWI history more
accessible to local residents,
veterans' families and everyone else
around the world.
For more information about this
event or the collection, please call
Jenna Leifso at the Huron County
Museum, 519-524-2686 ext. 201.
