A new exhibit at Oriental’s History Museum pays tribute to area residents who lost their lives while serving in War II, as well as Vietnam. Opening May 4, and running thru mid-June, the Fallen Heroes exhibit tells the stories and military history of these Oriental-area men who came from all branches of the military. (Among them, Hood Stephens, whose marker in Belgium’s Henri-Chapelle American Military Cemetery is in the photo at right.)

Oriental’s History Museum is at 802 Broad Street. Hours are: Friday 11-3, Saturday 1-4, Sunday 1-4. Admission is always free, donations gratefully accepted. For more information contact us: museum@dockline.net
