Stearns History Museum Free to Veterans on Veterans Day

Presented by Stearns History Museum at Stearns History Museum

Commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the End of the Great War.

Veterans Day, previously Armistice Day, was established one year after the end of World War I by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson.  The War formerly ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect.  Today we celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans.

The Museum’s exhibit, “Auf Wiedersehen, But Not Goodbye,” seeks to understand the experiences of Stearns County residents as they struggled to both survive and make sense of World War I. It explores these tumultuous times through artifacts and images and draws heavily from the from the words of Stearns County residents.  The exhibit also looks at the affect the War had on many Stearns County residents of Germanic heritage and the environment of mistrust and fear in which they lived.
