There are many artifacts to be found in the Middleville and District Museum's War exhibits. The personal belongings of men and women who served are of special interest to visitors.

Uniforms representing several different forces are on display at the Museum. The Museum is fortunate to have pictures of the people who wore these uniforms proudly. You will probably recognize a few familiar faces. A recent arrival at the Museum is the dress uniform of Janet Jarvis James. It was donated by her family this fall along with some other personal items and interesting artifacts including a shell case from Vimy Ridge. These items will soon be on display in the WW l exhibit alongside her Bluebird nursing uniform. To find out more about Janet's service career and the Bluebirds, check out last November's journal post.

Be sure to take the time to peruse the War exhibits at the Museum next season. There are lots of scrapbooks, memorabilia collected by soldiers and everyday belongings like lunch pails and letters to keep you interested. Plan a visit to see these artifacts and learn more about the people they belonged to.
