From the January Newsletter.
January Meeting, Monday, Jan. 16, 2017.
All meetings held at 7:30 p.m.., at the Federal Point History Center at 1121-A North Lake Park Boulevard, adjacent to the Carolina Beach, N.C., Town Hall.
The speaker was Jan Davidson, historian at the Cape Fear Museum of History and Science in Wilmington. She discussed World War I and New Hanover County's role in the fight. She concentrated on the impact on men and women and the items her museum has from them.
She has been at the Cape Fear Museum for 11 years and has been involved in a wide variety of research projects. Lately she has been working on the history of World War I because of its upcoming centennial anniversary for the United States' involvement.
She has a PhD and has previously worked at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
I was lucky enough to attend this presentation.
