‘I Remember’ at Gadsden Museum of Art

A tribute to Etowah County, AL veterans & their families. The museum partnered with Gadsden Public Library to record interviews of veterans.

The Project itself was a massive endeavor, but the physical place itself is on such a large scale it cannot be truly understood unless in person.

Featuring flags from USAT Goethals, excerpts from the ship logs, period photographs of the ship and crew, and photos from the Normandy campaign.

John Norris Brown’s new book, ‘Harriman (Images of America)’ presents a photographic history of Harriman, TN, a temperance town.

The Anderson County Museum will publish a book this fall that contains the World War II experiences of twenty county residents.
