Marking the 100th anniversary of the United States’ participation in the war, the K of C Museum’s exhibition, World War I: Beyond the Front Lines runs for the duration of America’s time in the conflict (April 6, 2017 – Dec. 30, 2018). The show provides a historical retrospective of the war and includes interactives, visuals and artifacts from the Knights of Columbus Museum collection and its Supreme Council Archives as well as many borrowed items from private lenders and organizations.
A series of WWI-related lectures and presentations will be offered throughout the duration of the exhibition. The inaugural lecture, by Central Connecticut State University history professor, M. Bolek Biskupski, Ph.D., is Saturday, April 8, 2017, at 2 p.m., and will explore the war’s origins and outcomes.
The Knights of Columbus Museum, located at 1 State Street in New Haven, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily with free admission and parking. More information: 203-865-0400 or kofcmuseum.org.
