Bartlett History Museum presents The Journey of Mollie’s War: WACs and WWII program at Bartlett Village Hall

November 5 @ 7:00 pm

The Bartlett History Museum invites everyone to attend “The Journey of Mollie’s War: WACs and WWII” on Wednesday, November 5, 7:00 p.m. at Bartlett Village Hall, 228 S. Main St.

Presenter Cyndee Schaffer is co-author of the award-winning “Mollie’s War,” a collaboration with her mother based on the letters that her mother sent home to family while serving in the Women’s Army Corps (WAC), stationed in Europe during WWII. Cyndee will detail her mother’s experiences from basic training in 1943 to a dramatic image of seeing the Statue of Liberty in the midst of darkness in November 1945 when she returned home.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for refreshments, if you would like to come early, with a 6:40 p.m. pre-program by the museum focusing on Bartlett during WW II. Schaffer’s presentation begins at 7:00 p.m.

Registration is required for this free event. Email Pam at prohleder@bartlettil.gov with your name, the number of seat(s) and your phone number.
