Remembering the Great War at the Alabama National Fair

September 26, 2018

anf logo 1

Visitors to this year’s Alabama National Fair in Montgomery will have a chance to learn more about the contributions of the state and its citizens to World War I.  In partnership with the Fair and Auburn University’s Caroline Marshall  Draughon Center for the Arts & Humanities, the Alabama Department of Archives and History will feature Remembering the Great War in the main expo hall on the fairgrounds. 

This special exhibit combines elements from a 2015 exhibit of WWI posters taken from the Archives’ collections entitled Art of the Great War, and portions of Auburn’s award-winning traveling World War I exhibit. Eight previous blog posts from this site, including the stories of Private Daniel Robinson, Sergeant Leon Ragsdale McGavock, Alabama nurses, and the Montgomery Motor Corps, complete this special exhibit.

The Alabama National Fair opens on Friday, September 28, and closes on Monday, October 8. Learn more about the Fair here.
