History Comes Alive!

Come back often to read the stories, articles and view photo images from Cantigny Park and the First Division Museum and The McCormick Museum.  Chicago area military youth -now “Backpackers” spent 3 days in A Backpack Journalist workshop that included writing, photography and film making.  Interviewing techniques and opportunities to visit with First Division Museum Curators and Staff.  The day the workshop closed?  They were visited by a World War II Veteran, many from the Viet Nam era, and also members from the local American Legion 656 who support the local Homeless Veterans Shelter.

More to come!
