ICYMI: Manchester and the Great War

Join AARP NH and the Manchester Historic Association for a previously-recorded webinar to learn more about the Great War and this pivotal time in history.

Watch the recording now:

The impact of World War I on the city of Manchester will be the topic of a discussion called “Manchester and the Great War.” The program will be presented by MHA Research Director Daniel Peters, an Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient who was wounded in combat in Afghanistan. His work with the MHA collection regarding the war formed the basis of his thesis for his master’s degree in history at Southern New Hampshire University.
