About the Event
On November 11, 1918, the German Empire surrendered to the Allied forces bringing an end to the fighting on the Western Front. However, for the Canadian soldiers stationed in Europe, the War did not end overnight. Some crossed the Rhine to occupy Germany, others went to fight in Russia, while others waited for demobilisation. The newest exhibition at the Brome County History Society (BCHS), A Long Road Home, explores the journeys, both literal and metaphorical, individuals and communities across Canada had to undergo to ‘come home’ from the War.
The members of the BCHS and the general public is invited to join us to mark the opening of this new exhibition with a wine & cheese vernissage in the company of the Curator and BCHS DIrectors on Friday, October 11, 2019, from 5.00 – 7.00 p.m. The event is free and open to all.
