Canton Historical Society presents interactive D-Day program on June 6

CANTON — The Canton Historical Society will honor the 75th anniversary of D-Day on Thursday, June 6, with an interactive program, “What They Carried on D-Day: A WWII History Presentation and Exhibit.”

Admission is free and open to the public. The program is from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Not recommended for very young children.
Doug Culver will present the history of D-Day, using original artifacts to tell the story of the day that changed the course of World War II.
This is not just an ordinary history talk – the audience will learn about D-Day through vivid stories about ordinary men and their extraordinary achievements, made even more vivid by a first-hand view of the uniforms they wore, and the equipment and supplies they carried, and learn many things they didn’t know.
Culver has presented free World War II programs for the past 30 years for high school history students, veterans’ groups, museums, historical societies and other organizations. He has consulted with countless individuals on the identification of military artifacts in family collections. For more information on his programs, visit www.wwiiconsulting.com
