Veterans Event

Join GCHS and the Red Wing American Legion Post #54 as we honor our local veterans. This event will feature a round table discussion with members of the Red Wing Legion and will highlight new oral history interviews in the museum’s collection. Between 2024 and 2025, twenty oral history interviews were completed in a collaboration between GCHS and Pier 55 Red Wing Area Seniors! At the event, we will showcase a video compilation of these interviews, ranging from veterans’ experiences to what life was like on the home front. All are welcome for this special event!

GCHS wants to preserve YOUR story! We are looking for veteran items from the Korean War to the present. Consider donating an item to GCHS collections. Not ready to part with your item? That’s okay! Staff will be available to digitize items during the event. Donate a digital copy and take the original home!

We will also collect voluntary donations at this event for the Red Wing Area Food Shelf. Please consider donating a much needed item:

• Canned meats
• Soup
• Cereal
• Non-Perishables
• Monetary Donations
