Though Veterans Day has passed, there’s good news for those wishing to see the exhibit — it will remain on display through Sunday at Tupper Arts, 106 Park St.

The arts center is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Sunday. The display is a collaboration between the Tupper Lake History Museum — whose collection most of the uniforms came from — and Tupper Arts, which provided the spacious and well-lit display location.

In addition to the seven uniforms on mannequins and 22 additional uniform jackets, there are numerous scrapbooks containing letters and photos that help showcase Tupper Lake’s patriotic history. There are also physical artifacts, such as ration stamps from World War II.

The exhibit took volunteers several months to compile the research behind some of the displays and assemble everything.

Tupper Lake History Museum President Kathleen Lefebvre said there’s a strong military history in Tupper Lake, and during World War I and World War II, families there tended to have multiple children serving.

“Tupper was very military oriented,” she said. “A lot of the families had eight, nine or 13 kids — so the average number of kids serving in the military was three per family.”

Lefebvre is a retired elementary science and math teacher in Tupper Lake. It was a trip down memory lane looking at the scrapbooks of the veterans in more recent wars — many were her students at L.P. Quinn at one point.

Lefebvre said the exhibit has received great reviews since it opened on Veterans Day. She added that many families were touched seeing historical photos and reading correspondence from their relatives during their times of service to the nation.
