A traveling exhibit from the National World War II Museum in New Orleans was displayed in the Union Museum of History and Art in Farmerville from June 17 to July 27. “The Pelican State Goes To War: Louisiana in World War II” exhibit chronicles the herculean effort of Louisianans to prepare the United States for war through pictures, artifacts and stories. Next stop for the exhibit is the Historic City Hall Arts and Cultural Center in Lake Charles, where it will be on view from August 2 to October 19.
