RIO GRANDE — A special exhibit, dedicated to a Lawrence County native, is now on display at the Homestead Museum of the Bob Evans Farm.
“Faces of the Great War” commemorates the United States entry into World War I and draws from the work of Dr. Samuel Wilson of the University of Rio Grande.

Displays in the exhibit will include uniforms, photographs, weapons, flags, equipment, medals, trench art and other items.
The museum is open daily from May 1-Oct. 31, from 10 a.m.-4p.m. Monday-Friday and noon- 4 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is free.
