About the Event
Eighty years ago, one of the most devastating conflicts in world history, World War II, came to a close. The sacrifices were immense, and nearly every Southampton family was affected by this monumental conflict. The Southampton History Museum's new pop-up exhibition, Homefront to Battlefront: Southampton during World War II, shares the stories of the men and women from our local community who played a role in this historic war.
Homefront to Battlefront: Southampton During WWII will be on view at Southampton Village's historic Veterans Hall on Saturdays only, 11 am–4 pm, from May 24 through November 29.
The Southampton History Museum is especially grateful to the Village of Southampton, the Village Commission on Veterans Patriotic Events (aka Combined Veterans Organization), and the Southampton Cultural Center for making this pop-up exhibition possible during the restoration of Rogers Mansion.
