The Pritzker Military Museum & Library is proud to partner with the Consulate General Canada in honor of Veterans Day. This evening program will explore the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the American soldiers who served alongside Canadian forces during World War I. Committed to the Allied war effort, these men volunteered to serve before the United States officially entered the conflict. We invite you to join us as we reflect on their service, courage, and sacrifice.
Join us for a virtual lecture series presented in partnership with the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. The second lecture, "The 1st Rhode Island Regiment," features Dr. Amanda Nagel, Associate Professor. Discover the story of this pioneering all-Black regiment and its courageous stand at the Battle of Rhode Island against British and Hessian forces. Registered participants will receive a Zoom link prior to the program.
Help us spread a little holiday cheer this season! The Pritzker Military Museum & Library is proud to participate in Toys for Tots, collecting new, unwrapped toys to help bring joy to children and families in our community. We’re also inviting visitors to join us in writing holiday cards for active-duty servicemembers, sharing a little appreciation and encouragement with those spending the holidays away from home. Stop by the museum during the holiday season to participate and help us make the season a little brighter for others.
The PMML invites you into the heart of our iconic building with monthly behind-the-scenes tours of collections and archival workspaces. First Fridays offer access to the state-of-the-art underground storage and archival workspaces dedicated to the preservation of the Citizen Soldier stories.
Journey with us as we read the pages of literary wonders that touch the heart. Join us virtually for a book discussion that encourages us to examine military history and how it relates not just to those who have served but to everyone. Our titles will change monthly and will feature fiction and non-fiction titles. The PMML Book Club is a virtual social gathering with special in-person surprise events along the way.
