Imagination Vacation
A virtual event via Zoom for Cantigny Park Members
Monday, November 2 | 7 pm
Pack your imaginary suitcases as we take you on a virtual tour of some of the battlefields around the globe that the 1st Infantry Division fought on during World War I and World War II. The staff of the First Division Museum will be your guides as we show off some of our favorite locations we have visited or researched while studying the history of the Big Red One. Staff will share the history behind the locations, our favorite local eats, and one dangerous spot you couldn’t visit it even if you wanted to.
We’ll send a Zoom Meeting link to registered members at 5 pm on November 2, two hours before the event begins.
