On Saturday, May 5, Drew Nash will lead a workshop on memoir writing; preserving and discovering the stories and memories of World War I. The workshop will take place in the Garden House at Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center (KTM&HC) beginning at 1:00 p.m. Admission to the workshop is free. Attendees should bring a notebook and pen.
Bring a snippet of a WWI story, memory, object or tale told by a family member, neighbor or a passing stranger. Stories from soldiers, stories from women on the Homefront, a medal, certificate, or keepsake can elicit a glimpse or insight into those days. Ms. Nash will help workshop attendees write to preserve, honor, and discover, and to turn these stories and memories into lasting keepsakes.
