Opening Night: A Picture from Home: Snapshots of the Great War on the Plains (Alexander Gallery, Panhandle–Plains Historical Museum)
January 28, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Event Navigation
This exhibition will display reproductions of photographs from the Research Center collection in the Alexander Gallery January 28 – December 30, 2017 as part of a series of exhibitions commemorating the centennial of American involvement in World War I. Residents of the Texas Panhandle region made use of inexpensive cameras as they threw themselves into the preparations for war. These include formal portraits of the men and women who played a role in the response to war; more common are the informal snapshots that capture the excitement and uncertainty of those years.
