   Sponsored by Stony Brook Museum Inc., “Buffalo Soldiers, The Hidden American History”, a program designed to inform the public about the participation of African-Americans in the military service of our country, has been offered in a series of bi-weekly programs at the Southborough Historical Society Museum. The series, a progressive timeline of the war periods, changing exhibitions of artwork, books, artifacts, and the presence of military re-enactors representing the featured historical era of the roles they portray has renewed a public interest in the history of our country. This program has shown that cooperative efforts between state agencies and non-profit organizations can produce new educational and informational programs for the public. It is our hope that you join us as we thank the patriots of past and present.

                Sincerely,

                Russell Horne, President
