Upcoming Event of Note
On June 28, 2007, one of New Hampshire’s finest, Walpole native and film maker, Ken Burns, will be on hand at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord, New Hampshire. He will be answering questions after the audience has had a chance to preview his new documentary series about World War II, titled simply, “The War.”
Interviewed several weeks ago on our local PBS station, Burns reports that the two words, “The War,” are all that are needed to describe World War II, the biggest and most devastating conflict of the twentieth century. Over the years, Burns has provided many quality documentary films, not the least of which was his coverage of the Shakers, and his dynamic Civil War series.
The event is free to the public and doors open at 6:15 p.m. Among honored guests is the newly-appointed director of the Wright Museum, Mark Foynes. The Wright Museum tells the story of the Home Front during WWII, through educational exhibits and artifacts. They have the largest fleet of working vehicles from the war, and a special exhibit, often. If you are in the area, plan on also taking a trek “up the road” to the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro, NH. More information is on our website.
