The Exhibit features uniforms of Talbot Countians who fought in the war, memorabilia from the war including medals, service ribbons, rationing coupons, even shrapnel from a fighter plane hit by enemy fire. A wedding dress made from a used parachute is a highlight as well as a Japanese Kamikaze flag. Lists of those who served from the county and the list of those who died while in uniform serve as a reminder of the commitment of Talbot County to the war effort.
