NORTH MANCHESTER —Center for History is hosting The Great War: From Ration Lines to the Front Lines, one of the Indiana Historical Society’s (IHS's) traveling exhibits, through June 4.
The exhibit, which showcases Indiana's contributions to the war effort and the war's long-lasting effects, will be on display at the museum, 122 E. Main St., North Manchester, according to a news release from the North Manchester Center for History.
With The Great War, visitors will see how Hoosiers experienced the First World War in distinct ways. While those of German heritage faced discrimination, African Americans and women pointed to their wartime contributions years later while advocating for social and political rights, stated the release.
The exhibit also explores the impact the war-time demand for steel, machinery and equipment had on Indiana's towns and cities such as Indianapolis, South Bend and Gary. In addition, the traveling exhibit explores the roots of World War I, America's entrance to the war, the evolution of warfare, the construction of the American Legion Building and the Indiana War Memorial and more.
The Great War: From Ration Lines to the Front Lines is made possible by Kroger.
