A look ahead to our 2008 - 2009 season

  • November 7 - 9               Salute to Marlborough Veterans
We will recognize the contributions and sacrifices made by Marlborough Veterans with a special reception, which will include a display some rarely-seen items from the Society's archives as well as a special new gift (pictured below) covering hundreds of Marlborough residents who served during World War II.



Nancy Colena of New Hampshire donated this scrapbook, which her mother-in-law made using a copy of U.S. Camera magazine.  Inside of it she had pasted  855 WWII service announcements that she clipped from the Marlborough Enterprise.

All are welcome at this special event.
