Bringing War Home, supported by NEH and Utah State University, engages military families, veterans, and communities with material culture and stories of war.
Read about our partner's work with the Bringing War Home Roadshow event from last spring at the Hill Aerospace Museum. They host their next roadshow this Saturday at USU Salt Lake campus.
Wednesday!! Join our team for a talk on how we can better understand the objects and stories brought home by returning veterans, and how to use objects to understand the history of America's wars.
This little cartoon was part of the U.S. Food Administration's conservation campaign during #WWI Citizens were encouraged to conserve sugar, meat, wheat, and fat so that Allied soldiers could be fed.
Happy #Thanksgiving from the Bringing War Home project!
War is saturated with objects shaped and carried from battlefields to homes. Sometimes such objects end up in Museums, but the personal stories of how such objects came to make journeys from Vietnam, for example, to rural Utah often do not.

Welcome to the Bringing War Home project! Today we salute all those who have served in war. #VeteransDay
Every week we hope to show you an object of war (like the one below) and invite you to see if you have anything like it in your life
