From The Sentinel: Traveling World War I exhibit visits Harrisburg today
The "Honoring Our History Tour," a traveling exhibit of the National World War I Museum at the Liberty Memorial, will be hosted by the State Museum in Harrisburg from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. today.
The exhibit is part of the 75th anniversary observance of the financial firm Waddell & Reed and is visiting cities in which the company has offices. Founders Chauncey Waddell and Cameron Reed were World War I veterans, according to the museum's website.
The museum is in Kansas City, Mo.
The exhibit uses a custom 18-wheel truck as its traveling gallery, according to the museum. It offers a free, interactive and educational experience designed by the museum.
The exhibit trailer will be parked in front of the North Office Building in the Capitol Complex on North Street, a short walk east of The State Museum.
Donations to support the non-profit museum, and funds raised at each stop for the traveling exhibit will be divided equally between each local museum and the National World War I Museum.
