Normandy Now & Then

Please register for in-person at OWL website.
Live on Zoom; link at our website.
Finn Outwater, a junior at Lakeview High School, was selected as one of fifteen student/teacher pairs to be part of the Albert H. Small Normandy Institute. He will discuss his experiences in both Washington D.C. and Normandy, France as he learned about D-Day, researched the airborne assault and wrote a detailed biography about a local hero from Watertown who is buried in the American Cemetery in Normandy.
Finn will share plenty of images from his trip and stories about his visit to Brecourt Manor, Marie Louise Osmont’s chateau, the Azeville Battery, and Pointe du Hoc, amongst others. Finn will also reveal what he learned at the National Archives and how Southbury had a surprising role in World War Two. Come learn from a young historian why it is so important to remember the events of D-Day after eight decades and how history can play an important role in all of our lives.
