September’s topic from the Mower County Historical Society is the Gallipoli Campaign, one of the greatest military disasters of World War I.

The Gallipoli Campaign was mostly the idea of one man, Winston Churchill, who thought it would knock Turkey out of the war in a few short weeks. Months later, after tens of thousands of men were lost, the Allies abandoned the campaign having accomplished nothing. Gallipoli remains one of the most controversial battles of the war.

Sign up for this piece of history at the Mower County Senior Center by calling 507-433-2370 or stop by the front desk. Everyone is welcome.

Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and a sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday, Sept. 22we are having hamburger stroganoff for only $2. You are always welcome at the center.
