WWI pitted 19th Century tactics against 20th Century weapons, with large-scale horrific results. The American Legion commemorates the 100-year anniversary of the conclusion to the "War to End All Wars," with a small but impactful exhibit in their corner of the War Memorial Building. No tickets, no reservations, no charge. Lest we forget.

It's open. It's free. It's American, and world, history.
