Annual Members’ Meeting

We invite all CMCH members to join us for the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History Annual Members’ Meeting to hear about the achievements of the past year.

We are also celebrating the opening of Facing War: Connecticut in World War I.  One hundred years ago, the First World War consumed the lives of Connecticut residents. This exhibit will explore how people responded to the conflict and how it impacted life during and after the war. Hundreds of photographs, letters, posters, clothing, equipment, and other artifacts from the CMCH collection help tell the stories of Connecticut individuals impacted by the war, including military servicemen and servicewomen, nurses, conscientious objectors, and YMCA and Red Cross workers. Similar to today, in 1918 people in Connecticut struggled to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder, concerns about immigration, a global refugee crisis, and discrimination.

The schedule of the evening:
5:30-6:15pm:  Annual Members’ Meeting
6:15-7:30 pm:  Reception: Facing War: Connecticut in World War I

Please let us know if you will be joining us by phone (860) 236-5621 x238 or by email at rsvp@chs.org.
