| History | African-American Veterans | World War I Veterans |
A bronze plaque resides inside the Museum and lists the names of local Ormond Beach World War II veterans. The original plaque was donated by Claus and Elsa Wiedemann, Cincinnati, Ohio residents who wintered in Ormond Beach. This plaque listed the 147 names of the white men and women who served in World War II, twelve of whom are on the Gold Star list.1,3 As was the custom of the era, a separate plaque commemorating the African-American veterans was placed in the old Reading Room formerly located on the corner of U.S. 1 and Tomoka Avenue. After the demolition of the Reading Room, the plaque listing these seventy-seven veterans was lost.
In 1999, a twenty-five year effort by Andrea Hall, granddaughter of local veteran James Lewis Hall, culminated in the inclusion of the 77 names omitted from the original plaque due to segregation issues. These local African-Americans fought with the same dedication and fervor as their white counterparts and are now listed with equal status. The plaque truly reflects the spirit of sacrifice and freedom of all of Ormond Beach's World War II veterans and helps to heal 53 years of social injustice.2
An additional plaque located outside the Museum on the west side of the property lists the names of three local men who gave their lives in service to our country in World War I.1
