To compliment the exhibit, the reception will feature a dramatic reading of wartime letters, court documents, memoirs and diaries from both the front lines and the home front by students from Green’s Farms Academy. The group of twelve students in GFA’s ‘plays and players’ class will read from documents that span the Pequot War (1636-37), the American Revolution, the Civil War, Vietnam, World War I and World War II. One set of letters from World War II provides an exchange between a son on the frontlines asking about the status of the farm at home and the mother’s response telling her son not to worry.
