A Turbulent Time:  Perspectives of the Vietnam War explores the complex ways McLean County residents perceived and responded to this crucial 20th century event.  How and why did the U. S. Government get involved in Vietnam?  How did local citizens and those serving in Vietnam initially feel about the war?   How did feelings change as the war intensified? Why did U.S. involvement continue, even after antiwar protests escalated and the general public demanded an end?  These questions and more are explored in this new exhibit.
