It has been 70 years since World War II ended. Old Independence Regional Museum has opened its new exhibit “Remembering World War II’s End”. Memories of the war still haunt some. Photographs, letters, and objects remain tangible remnants of those who fought, those who died, those who supported the efforts, and those who helped at home.

On display are of the items that have been donated to the museum over the years. One exhibit area houses a canvas cot, a military blanket, an Army hat, cartridge belt and knapsack, along with a trenching shovel and pick. Some soldiers brought back objects that had belonged to the enemy. A few of those from Japan and Nazi Germany are also displayed as evidences of the enemies during that war.
