A "home front" display shows how citizens at home dealt with rationing: Christmases without silver ornaments because the metal was needed for military equipment and descriptions of their victory gardens.
The display includes the banners military families hung in their windows. Banners with blue stars showed how many family members were serving in the military. Gold stars over the blue stars indicated a military death.
