Museum seeks artifacts, information on POW camps
The Henderson County Heritage Museum is asking for photographs or other artifacts area residents might have concerning Henderson County’s World War II prisoner of war camps. These camps housed captured German soldiers who worked on area farms. Items may be donated to the museum or given “on loan” for use in the museum’s Veterans Hall.
