CACHE to Host Discussion on the American Legion
Exeter, CA – The Center for Art, Culture, and History—Exeter (CACHE) will be hosting a new local history talk by CACHE’s board president, Dwight Miller, from their quarterly series CACHE Chats: Tales of Exeter and Beyond. Dwight’s discussion is scheduled for Monday, November 17, from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the upstairs conference room, and the topic is “The American Legion: Born from the Great War.”
In the aftermath of World War I, millions of Americans returned home from the battlefields of France, forever changed by their experiences. From that shared sacrifice came a new brotherhood—the American Legion—founded in Paris in 1919 by veterans determined to preserve camaraderie, serve their communities, and honor those who didn’t return.
Miller’s talk explores the early days of the Legion, the challenges faced by returning soldiers, and how their vision shaped a century of service, remembrance, and civic leadership in towns like Exeter and across the nation.
This event is free to the public; donations are appreciated. For more information, visit our website at www.cach-exeter.org/events.
