This exhibition examines how residents of Outagamie County, in northeastern Wisconsin, responded to the crisis of World War II. While it focuses primarily on the ways people from this local agricultural and industrial community mobilized for war, it is appropriately rooted in a broader national and international context. At its outset, then, the exhibition deploys a well-researched narrative and a collection of time-lines, maps, and photographs to give visitors (many of whom, presumably, will be children and young adults) a good sense of the events and issues that led the United States toward war in late 1941. The only element missing from the early stage of the narrative is an acknowledgment of American isolationism and of the possible resistance to war by the conservative German Americans who dominated the area.
