SUMMARY:The War at Home
DESCRIPTION:Americans went to war in 1917 literally against Germany but also against each other. In The War at Home\, historian Greg Gaut focuses on the lives of individual Minnesotans to tell the dramatic story of this period\, when the North Star State experienced bitter polarization\, nativism\, flagrant disregard for democratic norms\, and intense\, sometimes violent\, confrontations. \nGreg will explore his research and stories from this new book\, which is for sale in the Museum Shop. His article on a World War I espionage case\, “Hardware Store Sedition: The Case of Charles W. Andring\,” won the Solon J. Buck Award for the best article in Minnesota History for 2020. He holds a doctorate in modern European and Russian history from the University of Minnesota. \nThis event is free\, but space is limited. Seating is first come\, first serve!

Every few years\, the Society holds a special meal in honor of long-time and above-and-beyond volunteers. We are pleased to celebrate Judy and Chuck Shepard with an evening of food\, fun\, and good company. \nAbout the Shepards\nChuck and Judy Shepard are long-time supporters of the Winona County Historical Society. Both have helped make big and small projects possible over the decades. Judy has been an avid volunteer for the WCHS. She has served on the Board of Directors and was President during her term. Judy’s love has been the Voices From the Past Cemetery Walk. She has been involved with the Walk as a planning committee member\, guide trainer\, school group organizer\, naturalist site presenter\, group guide\, and more. Judy was characterized as “skippy” by fellow volunteer\, Al Smith\, as she often traded a skirt for knee pants so she could travel Woodlawn Cemetery on her bicycle. She is currently a member of the Education & Outreach Committee and volunteers at events. \nRSVP\nInvitations have been mailed to WCHS members\, but all are welcome. Space is limited\, so secure your seats soon. Dinner is $40 per person. Register by mailing back your RSVP card\, stopping in\, or calling the History Center with your payment. Donations are also being accepted in honor of the Shepards. \nThe History Center doors will open at 5:00 p.m. Stop at the cash bar by Muddled Thyme with wine\, beer\, cocktails\, and mocktails. Attendees will find plated salads at tables. A buffet dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m. featuring chicken with a cranberry glaze\, wild rice\, green beans\, bread\, and blueberry crumble.
