Visit to the Past at the W.H. Over Museum in Vermillion--- September 12, 2007
SDPB staff had the privilege to take a step back in time at the W.H. Over Museum on September 12th. Our invitation came from Friends of the Museum President Maxine Johnson and the hospitality was great! The Homefront South Dakota preview film screening event was promoted in the local newspaper, organization newsletters as well as on table tents at the Vermillion Senior Center. The event was attended by 42 community people who shared personal stories of their own following the screening.

The museum was the perfect place to hold the event as it validated the importance of our history and the richness of stories that need to be shared. Thanks to the Friends of the W.H. Over Museum for being such gracious hosts. Thanks also to the veterans and their families for their service and for sharing their stories with us.
