WOLFEBORO — The Wright Museum will welcome author Elizabeth G. Macalaster on Tuesday, June 14. This is the fifth program of the Wright Museum’s 2022 Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney Education Series.

War Pigeons traces the remarkable service of homing pigeons in the U.S. Military, from its beginnings after the Civil War to the birds’ invaluable communications role in every branch of the U.S. military through two world wars and beyond.
