Connecticut’s Role in WWI
Christine Pittsley, Project Director for the Remembering World War One community archiving project at the Connecticut State Library, explored the role Connecticut played leading up to the war, what was happening on the home front while our soldiers fought in the trenches, stories of local contributions to the war effort, and how Connecticut commemorated the war. From Liberty Loan campaigns and victory gardens to local soldiers and nurses on the front lines, and also about the ways Middletown contributed to winning the war.
