Shelter Island Historical Society: Veteran’s Day | “As Time Goes By” Exhibit, w/ WW I Helmet & Gas Mask…

Tomorrow is Veterans Day, where we honor those who have served in our armed forces. It was established on 11/11/1919 – one year to the day after the armistice that ended World War I was signed.

In our “As Time Goes By” exhibit here at the History Center we feature a WWI helmet and gas mask worn by one of our Shelter Island residents. Also on display are Army and Navy uniforms from both world wars, as well as a duffel bag and other military memorabilia.

The exhibit can be seen Monday through Saturday from 10am to 2pm here at the Shelter Island History Center.

We remember and thank all our veterans for their service.
