1945 Volunteer Farm Workers
During the WW II years in the early forties, there was a shortage of workers here at home, especially on the farms during harvest time.
Oregon Women in WWII
American women played important roles during World War II, both at home and in uniform. Not only did they give their sons, husbands, fathers, and brothers to the war effort, they gave their time, energy, and some even gave their lives. A new display at the Oregon Area Historical Society now recognizes some of the women from the Oregon area who served their country.
