Learning the hidden truths of World War II

Mower County Senior’s, Inc. is hosting the Mower County Historical Society at 2 p.m. on Thursday.

Executive Director John Haymond is back, talking about “The lesser-known history of World War II.”

This presentation will discuss some of the stories from WWII that most people have never heard of or read about. As always John is a great presenter and you will all feel like you are taken back in history. We look forward to seeing you there. Please stop by the front desk or call 507-433-2370 to let us know you will be there so we can plan appropriately.

We look forward to seeing you at our many programs at the senior center.
