"The world must be made safe for democracy." With those words, President Woodrow Wilson committed Maine, and the rest of the country, to fight in World War I. It was April 2, 1917. To mark the coming centennial, the Maine Historical Society opens a new exhibit in Portland today. To read the full article from Maine Public's interview with curator Jamie Rice, click here.
The Maine WWI Centennial Working Group is made up of representatives from the Participating Organizations.
