description

Everyday life changed during World War II as families were separated, food and goods were rationed, and travel and pleasure driving were curtailed. North Carolinians from the mountains to the coast helped the war effort by volunteering, by salvaging and conserving, by growing Victory gardens, and by buying war bonds. Use the scrapbook of memories; the stories of North Carolinians; and objects, images, and words of the period to teach about the changes that this war brought to our state.
