Lakeshore Public Television has announced Westchester Township History Museum will showcase the station’s WWII Hoosier Veterans Photography Exhibit, “Of Men and Mission,” through April 30. The museum is located at 700 West Porter Avenue in Chesterton. “Of Men and Mission” is free and open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The Westchester Township History Museum is an educational service of Westchester Public Library. Westchester Township History Museum is the fifth stop in Northwest Indiana for this traveling photo exhibit. The tour schedule includes May, Portage Library, Portage and June-July, Valparaiso University, Christopher Center, Valparaiso. Through the commissioned photography of Pete Doherty, Lakeshore Public Television captured the veterans in portrait form during live interviews that were conducted as part of the station’s recent World War II outreach initiative. Lakeshore Public Television worked closely with our region’s very own World War II veterans to explore the history of our nation’s Second World War through the personal recollections of these local heroes. These memoirs will be featured in a documentary, which is in progress and expected to air on Lakeshore PTV in Fall 2008. Lakeshore PTV can be viewed over the air and on satellite through DirecTV and Dish Network on Channel 56, on cable on channel 17 in most Northwest Indiana communities, and on 17 and 21 in Chicago and its suburbs.
