The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I, 1914-1919 is a special exhibition on loan from the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Mo. The exhibit presents descriptions, documents and artwork detailing the ways in which Americans aided war efforts through humanitarian and military relief.

Countless local, regional and national groups throughout the U.S. such as the American Field Service, the YMCA and the YWCA pro-vided labor, food, entertainment and physical support to Allied forces. Additionally, the French Foreign Legion afforded Americans the earliest opportunity to fight on the front lines. The contributions of these men and women to war-torn countries was pivotal in the early stages of war.

The efforts of the American Field Service are among those highlighted in the exhibition, which features images, stories and documents from its archives. American ambulance drivers played key roles in several battles during the early stages war, most notably in parts of France, and often served under extremely dangerous missions on the West-ern Front.The exhibition was produced by the

National World War I Museum and Memorial in collaboration with AFS Intercultural Programs. Principle funding for the exhibition was provided by the Florence Gould Foundation.The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I, 1914-1919 is on display in Westbury House and is included admission. March 31-July 1. 10am-5pm.

He has appeared on the Travel Channel, C-SPAN American History TV, BBC Radio, NPR, and many more outlets.Following the presentation there will be a q&a with the author and reception fea-turing light appetizers and the signature cocktail from the era, The French 75.Thursday, May 10, 7pm$20/$18 member Advance tickets required.

World War I Centennial

Garden Faire and GymkhanaLiving History Weekend Saturday & Sunday, June 23 & 24A weekend of activities for all ages.

In June 1918 John S. Phipps held a gymkhana (jim-'ka-nә) on his estate for the relief of the families of British and Canadian servicemen. This event included equestrian games and demonstrations, food tents and flyovers by military aircraft based at Mitchell Field. Join us as we commemorate this event with a “living history” weekend with WWI re-enactors, period vehicles, crafts and games for children and horse demonstrations. And in keeping with the “British” flavor of the original Phipps’s gymkhna there will be a tea tent featuring English baked goods, music performances, Morris dance demon-strations, and other faire experiences. Saturday and Sunday, June 23 and 24 11am—5pm

The Great War: Portraits of Privilege, Duty, and SacrificeJune 23–October 7

As the winds of war swirled in Europe in 1914, Americans faced decisions about their response to the conflict. Some answered calls by the preparedness movement and enlisted in military reserve units. Others used their influence and wealth to lead the relief response to the refugee crisis in Belgium and France.

Drawing upon the archival collections of Old Westbury Gardens, descendants, and the National Archives, The Great War: Portraits of Privilege, Duty, and Sacrifice explores how Americans responded to what at first seemed a distant struggle, yet as the war continued became a conflict too close to home. Ethnic and national loyalties, accounts of civilian calamities, and an escalating demand for monetary loans, as well as agricultural and manufactured goods forced Americans to confront issues of alle-giance, obligation, and national defense they had not experienced in three generations.The exhibition introduces World War I—its causes, responses by Americans prior to the declaration of war against Germany by the US in April 1917, and the subsequent mobilization of social institutions, human labor, and popular will, particularly on Long Island. Visitors will then engage with the participation of noted Long Islanders like John S Phipps and his peers

whose personal response to the Great War challenge the way we understand of duty, honor and obligation today. The Great War—: Portraits of Privilege, Duty, and Sacrifice is on display in Westbury House and is included admission. June 23–October 7
