BUFFALO, MN – The Wright County Historical Society (WCHS) recently announced it has been chosen to receive the Smithsonian’s traveling exhibit entitled “Journey Stories,” which tells tales of how ancestors came to America.
To supplement this 700-square-foot exhibit, the WCHS is also collecting local stories based on different themes.
Shown are Ed Vandergon of Silver Creek Township, left, at a barracks in Idaho with an unknown sergeant. Vandergon was wounded at Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941.
