Wisconsin Veterans Museum Exhibit Selected for National Award

article

The Wisconsin Veterans Museum is the recipient of an American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) Award of Excellence for its exhibit, “Souvenirs of Service: the Things They Kept.” The AASLH Leadership in History Awards, now in its 79th year, is the most prestigious recognition for achievement in the preservation and interpretation of state and local history.

The goal of “the Souvenirs of Service” exhibit is to show the humanity behind the history through artifacts that are not normally on display at a military history museum. By highlighting the common impulse to collect and document the experiences of servicemembers and civilians alike, the museum staff aimed to bridge the expanding military-civilian divide and encourage a deeper understanding of military service. The exhibit will be on view until the end of the year.
