There will be a special guest speaker from the WAAC Veteran's Association Chapter 94, along with some from the exhibit writers. Most of the artifacts on display are from The Gregg and Michelle Philipson Collection and Archive. Regular Exhibit Hours - Wednesday - Saturday 10 am to 2 pm. This will be on display at the railroad depot through June.

Find out why the Womens Auxiliary Corp was in Nacogdoches, and the hard work they did. They knew the faster and harder they worked, the faster their fathers, sons, husbands, and brothers would be back from the war. Using that as an incentive, they were compelled to do great things.
