MANSFIELD — When “The Great War” ended with an armistice in 1918, it was known as the “War to End All Wars.”

A century later, it is a war overshadowed by later events that plunged the world into an even deeper war and subsequent events that command our constant attention.

A May 5 event will give a glimpse into the world that existed a century ago when St. Luke’s Point of Grace hosts “The Great War is Over,” as part of the second annual RichHistory Weekend, involving historical organizations throughout the county.

“The actual 100th anniversary is next Nov. 11, but I wanted to focus on that year as our part of this historical weekend,” said Paul Lintern, event creator.

The program begins at 6 pm. in the sanctuary of the historic St. Luke’s building, 2 Marion Ave. in Mansfield, with a variety of songs, poems written by a soldier near the end of the war, and an appearance and presentation by President and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, portrayed by locals Jeff Mandeville and Margie Cutnaw.

Cheryl Dreher and Allison Ruari will provide music of the era, and Steve Wamsley will present a musical rendition of “In Flander’s Field,” the famous poem that originated out of World War I.

At 7 p.m., the audience will be invited downstairs for an informal dinner and a dance, presented by the Johnny Ohio Trio, featuring Don and John Bauts and friends.

“No one will be disappointed if the trio has more than three musicians,” Lintern quipped. “It will be quite entertaining.”

The music will mostly be from the first two decades of the twentieth century, but Lintern says the dance will simply be a social dining event without concern about maintaining historical accuracy.

An hour later, all will be invited upstairs to the Great Room for “Spring Fling,” an informal jam session of local musicians playing for any appreciative audience.

“This will be the first time we have had musical events in three venues here in one evening,” Lintern says, “There really is something for everyone.”

The event has no admission charge, although donations will be received at 7 p.m. for the meal programs that St. Luke’s offers on the second, fourth and fifth Saturdays of each month.

St. Luke’s Point of Grace recently marked its fifth anniversary as a nonprofit manager of the building that hosts Church Requel, historical displays of Mansfield as the City of Churches, the Lincoln Highway and Boy Scouting in Richland County, and honors military veterans with the Point of Freedom as the starting point of local parades.

RichHistory Weekend will find nearly all museums and historical locations open for special events on May 5 and 6. Visit RichHistoryAlliance.org for more information.
