WWII Pacific Trunk Artifact Program – Tuesday, April 30 – Time TBD
The Rockwall Library is excited to present a special program of historical interest! A presenter with the Nimitz Foundation will discuss and display the contents of a World War II footlocker. These trunks hold actual artifacts from that period including soldier clothing, currency, maps, spotting mirrors (to signal if lost), vials of sand from Iwo Jima and Omaha Beach, and more.
The program, Operation Footlocker, is presented by the National WW2 Museum in New Orleans and provides a unique hands-on opportunity to learn about the history and lessons of World War II.
