We're excited to invite you to the opening reception of "Beyond the Battlefield: Collierville’s VFW Post 5066 & Auxiliary," a new temporary exhibition honoring a nearly century-long legacy of local veterans who transitioned from serving their country to anchoring our community.

 Date & Time: Friday, September 11th, 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
 Location: Morton Museum of Collierville History, 196 N. Main Street, Collierville, TN

Stepping far beyond the front lines, this exhibition highlights the profound local impact of VFW Post 5066 and its Auxiliary. Since establishing their South Center Street headquarters in 1945, they have transformed into a vital neighborhood lifeline. From offering expert VA claim assistance to fostering the simple, powerful camaraderie of "Coffee with a Veteran" gatherings, their outreach stretches well into the present day. Whether providing for families in need or conducting solemn flag retirement ceremonies for the town, these veterans and auxiliary members continue to serve.

This reception is a tribute to a dedicated group that ensures no local veteran ever has to walk alone. By weaving together archival milestones with modern stories of brotherhood and sisterhood, come explore the history of Post 5066, enjoy the collection throughout the gallery, and celebrate the service that keeps our community strong.
