Features more than 70 artifacts, documents, biographical profiles, and research panels that examine the war through the experiences of Lancaster County residents who served in the military and those who supported civilian efforts at home. The items, drawn from the museum’s permanent collection and on loan from community members, include uniforms, accessories, equipment, military certificates and service records, personal letters, soldier photographs, original war bond posters, and local Red Cross chapter notes.

The exhibit was researched and designed by museum volunteers Shaune Lee and Gay Chapman and executive director Karen Hart.  While the number of objects is extensive, this is also an exhibit focused on people, beginning with our wall of honor listing 366 Lancaster residents, white and African-American, known to have served in the Great War. Many were just old enough to enlist at 18 and many knew only the life of a farmer or waterman. Most returned safely, but four were killed from service action, accident, or disease.

Throughout the exhibit several individuals are highlighted whose lives and stories provide examples of varied war-time experiences. They range from Army to Navy to Marines, from artillery to ambulances on the front lines in France, and from aviation mechanic to doctor at stateside camps. Profiles include Charles Dixon, John Ashburn, Eldridge Revere, Oscar Chilton, Thomas Dix McGinnes, Dr. Chichester Peirce, William Leland Brent, Joseph Emory Currell, and Robert Dunaway. There are also letters home from Barron Didlake and Hannibal Potter serving in France.

Visitors to the exhibit will also learn about the role of women in the military and in civilian home front efforts.  Alma Ruth Ingram Burrell, a female yeoman at Norfolk Naval Base, and Army nurse Lila Combs Chilton are the only two known servicewomen from Lancaster.  Lila’s sister Bessie Combs Peirce volunteered as the Production Chairman for the Lancaster chapter of the American Red Cross, which kept women, in both white and African-American branches across the county, sewing and knitting for the soldiers and war refugees.  Women also had to adapt their household cooking and eating habits to conserve food for the troops and they faced the challenges of running farms and businesses while the men were away.
