A new exhibit highlighting the efforts on the home front during WWII is now open at the Rome Area History Museum.  "World War II: The Home Front" contains photos and artifacts from the 1940s that tell the story of this transformational time.  A video containing clips of oral history interviews with local WWII veterans and civilians is on view in the exhibit.     

 

As a partner of the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, we are coordinating an oral history project with World War II veterans and civilians in northwest Georgia.  It is vital that we preserve these stories.  Please contact the Museum to schedule interviews. 

 

The oral history project and exhibit are supported in part by a grant from the Georgia Humanities Council.
