Huron County, Ontario – The Goderich Youth Collective is proud to present The Legacy of Women in War, the latest Community Curators exhibit on display at the Huron County Museum.
Curated by youth participants, the exhibit interprets the stories of women during the First and Second World Wars, both overseas and on the home front across Huron County. Through carefully selected artifacts from the Museum’s collection, The Legacy of Women in War explores the resilience, courage, and sacrifice of women from Huron County through both wars.
“The group proposed this topic themselves and then chose artifacts to display that spoke to the untold stories of women’s lives during the First and Second World Wars,” said Sinead Cox, Curator of Engagement and Dialogue for the Museum, who guided the group through the exhibit from concept to installation.
The Goderich Youth Collective is a YMCA-run leadership program funded by United Way that focuses on healthy and active living, both mental and physical. As Community Curators partners, the group gained hands-on experience in exhibit development, research, and storytelling with a local focus.
The Legacy of Women in War is now open to the public at the Huron County Museum and is included with regular admission.
