The gardening season is rapidly approaching. Imagine what planting a garden would have been like during the dark days of WWII.
Jeffrey Urbin, an Educationalist Specialist at the Roosevelt Library and Museum will be speaking at the Greenbush Historical Society meeting about such a time. Jeffrey gave us an excellent presentation in November about the Roosevelts.
This program will discuss the unprecedented contributions made by millions of Americans who literally fought for the war in their own backyards with small plots called "Victory Gardens." Where did this idea come from? Did the "Victory Gardens" actually help the war effort? These topics and more will be discussed at the East Greenbush Historical program on April 21 at 2 PM.
We hope you will join us for the last program of the season. Registration is strongly encouraged. Click here to register
