About The Event
Recently opened display in the Ohio Military Museum section, located on the mezzanine level, accessible by elevator. The display covers the story of World War One from the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, through the occupation of Germany by the victorious Allies after the war. The display consists of text, posters, photographs, art work, and uniforms and artifacts of the American Doughboy, including a life-size fully equipped Doughboy mannequin. American volunteers, such as the Lafayette Escadrille and the American Field Service (AFS) ambulance drivers for France, who entered the war before America officially became a combatant, are noted as well. The majority of the display discusses the American involvement, including the branches of service involved as well as a selection of technological advances created to meet military needs. MAPS hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 9am-4:30pm; Sunday, 11:30am-4pm; closed Mondays. Telephone: 330-896-6332 https://mapsairmuseum.org.
