About:

Although the main action took place across oceans, World War II also permeated civilian life at home. Princeton residents engaged in civilian defense, rationed their purchases, and contributed to foreign relief efforts. This exhibition explores how World War II affected Princeton and its neighbors on a local level through historic documents and objects.

This exhibit is presented in partnership with the Historical Society of Princeton.
