LOCATION:1053
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: justify;">“Answering the Call…From Recruit to the Fro
 nt Lines of WWI,” a special exhibition at the Upcountry History&nbsp;Museum
 , presents an overview of the influence “the Great War” had on the course o
 f history, as well as some of the notable advancements made to the modern w
 orld as a result.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Focusing on the experi
 ence from a recruit’s perspective, this artifact-rich exhibit will draw vis
 itors into the everyday life of the American Doughboy, including what he wo
 re, what he ate, the equipment he carried, and the thoughts he shared with 
 those on the home front. Drawn from local collectors and the Museum’s perma
 nent collection, the exhibit will feature original posters used to rally th
 e public; postcards and photos from local troops stationed at Greenville’s 
 Camp Sevier and Spartanburg’s Camp Wadsworth; arms, field equipment, and pe
 rsonal essentials carried by individual soldiers as they embarked on their 
 journey “over there.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, “Answ
 ering the Call” seeks to raise awareness of the roles and contributions of 
 women and African Americans during the call to serve, as well as the signif
 icance their participation meant to transformative social change in areas o
 f women’s rights, race relations and the economy as the modern era began.<s
