10 Ways to Commemorate Veteran’s Day and the WWI Armistice Centennial in NYC
8. Commemoration at the Historic Onderdonk House
On Monday, November 12, 2018, the Greater Ridgewood Historical Society and Allied Veterans Memorial Committee of Ridgewood and Glendale will come together for an event at the historic Vander Ende-Onderdonk House, a Blue Star Museum committed to supporting Active Service men and women and their families by provided free admission and supporting recognition of their service and that of our veterans through programs and events. The Greater Ridgewood Historical Society will have an exhibit on the three World War I Memorials in Bushwick, Ridgewood and Glendale and a retrospective on the contribution of area residents to the war effort.
This event is free and open to the public. There will be a ceremony beginning at 10:00a.m. at the Vander Ende – Onderdonk House, 1820 Flushing Avenue, Ridgewood, corner of Flushing and Onderdonk Avenues. Following the ceremony there will be refreshments, the opening of the exhibit on the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice and tours of the Onderdonk House. If you have memorabilia that you would like to temporarily loan, you can contact the Society via email, [email protected] with the subject: World War 1 Armistice, or by phone (718-456-1776). Due to limited exhibit space, not all items will be used.
