In honor of American veterans past and present, we are hosting Serving Their Country at the Colonel Paul Wentworth House on Veterans Day, Sunday, November 11. Join us at this day-long living history event as we pay tribute to American soldiers.
This event will feature displays and living-history demonstrations illustrating the lives and stories of America’s citizen-soldiers from the colonial period through modern times. Historical reenactors with carefully researched and period-accurate uniforms and equipment will portray soldiers from the colonial and Revolutionary eras, the Civil War, the world wars, and the Vietnam War.
SPECIAL ARMISTICE CEREMONY
To mark the centennial of the end of World War I, the presenters will march to the Martel-Roberge American Legion Hall on Foundry Street for an 11 am ceremony commemorating the exact hour and day of the armistice which ended the WWI conflict in 1918.
