Braintree District Museum will be bringing World War Two to life in a new way this summer. The museum will be exploring what the war was like for those living on the Essex Home Front in a thought-provoking exhibition telling the story of life at home through the voices of local people rather than a museum professional. The museum has been interviewing people from across Braintree and surrounding villages as part of an exciting local oral history project. Visitors can hear the testimonies of evacuees to the area, Land Army girls, those who contributed to civil defence across the District and even the experiences of a German POW in Essex. Visitors of all ages are welcome to join in this evocative and moving exhibition, discovering how the impact of war could be felt not just on the continent or over London but much closer to home too.
