Two of the original Rosie the Riveters check out images at the new exhibit, They Answered the Call, which chronicles the story of Martin Company employees in World War II. The women are standing in front of a quilt made by several women workers. The Rosies who attended the preview on May 7 were thrilled that their contributions to the war effort are recognized after all these years.
The show features many photographs from the Museum archives that have not been on public display before. Artifacts donated for the exhibit range from tool boxes to sports uniforms. The exhibit is open during regular Museum hours and will be evolving as more items becomes available.
