The Sherman Museum is bringing back History Comes Alive, a fundraiser it has not staged in seven years, and this time the program is built around veterans.
The event is Saturday, Nov. 7, at 2 p.m. in Binkley Hall at First United Methodist Church, 401 N. Elm St. Tickets cost $25 and can be bought on the museum's website, at the museum at 301 S. Walnut St. or by calling 903-893-7623. All of the money raised goes to the museum, KTEN reported.
Whose stories will be told
The museum's flyer lists five segments for the afternoon:
- Walter Hunter, a local World War II veteran
- Veterans who were lost at Pearl Harbor and at Normandy
- Charles Winstead
- Women in World War II
- Judge R.C. Vaughan and Clyde Hall
Refreshments and prizes are also promised.
Museum director Stuart Holcomb told KTEN the theme ties in with America's 250th anniversary and that organizers wanted the event to go along with the veterans parade. "Since it's America's 250th, we decided to focus this one on veterans," Holcomb told the station.
