Program Description

Event Details

During World War II, American soldiers marched off to battle, rallied their courage and reflected on life back home through songs. Americans on the home front kept their perspective and solidarity with the troops through music. Radio, records, and even movies were used to stir up and maintain patriotic fervor. Join us to be transported back in time through this combination history lesson/musical performance.

Brought to you in partnership with the Wauconda Township Historical Society.

After the program, stop over at Cook House next door to view the historical society's local WWII display. They will be open from 3 to 5 pm. Guided house tours will also be available.
