History
exhibits, at their best, act as a bridge between generations. Call
to Duty is dedicated to what some have called “the greatest
generation.” The men, women, and children of the early 1940s
set aside friendships, family, and careers to fight a war against
dictators who truly threatened world democracy.
This exhibit
looks at how local Outagamie County residents met the nation’s
call to duty during World War II. The exhibit focuses on everyday
people who were not only changed by events of war, but who played
an important role in the making of history. I will be forever touched
by the stories of those who sacrificed and fought in this war.
People
make exhibits. Call to Duty is the product of many months
of work by the Outagamie County Historical Society exhibit team–Kimberly
Louagie, Matthew Carpenter, Jane Woolsey, Ryan Schaub, and Lori
Van Handel.
