This exhibit focuses on the human side of war by exploring the stories of Arlington Heights residents who were involved in military conflicts from the Civil War to the Vietnam War. Using artifacts, documents and photos from our archives that have never been put on display, we showcase the experiences of war. These include events such as the ceremonial welcome home given to the returning World War I soldiers, and the important contributions that a state-side soldier made during World War II. Visitors can imagine themselves in the boots of a paratrooper in the Korean War or the small wooden Filipino slippers of a civilian girl interned by the Japanese overseas during World War II. Civil War era discharge papers help us to honor those that came back home, alongside the stories and images of those who gave their lives. Hours:Tuesday-Thursday 1:30-4:30pm and Friday-Sunday 10am-4:30pm
