Objects of War: A Storytelling Circle of Service, Memory, and Community

Veterans Memorial Hall, a program of the St. Louis County Historical Society, is partnering with the Minnesota Humanities Center to present Objects of War: A Storytelling Circle of Service, Memory, and Community on Thursday, September 24, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at American Legion Post 71. The event is free, and advance registration is required.

Register online at https://www.mnhum.org/event/duluth-objects-of-war-a-storytelling-circle-of-service-memory-community. Space is limited, and registration helps organizers plan seating and the light meal.

For Objects of War, participants are invited to bring an item connected to military service or the experience of war and conflict — such as dog tags, a service member’s good luck charm, a photograph, a letter, or a family heirloom — and share the story behind it. Guided by trained facilitators, the evening will explore why we hold on to certain objects and how those objects help us better understand the human impacts of war. Participants should come prepared to share a story, listen to others, and enjoy a light meal together.
