Christine Pittsley, the special projects director of the Museum of Connecticut History at the Connecticut State Library is a Navy veteran and historian who's dedicated her professional career to studying the Connecticut National Guard's 1-102nd Infantry Regiment's efforts during World War I in France. This has led her to become the co-founder of "Digging into History", an experimental educational program that brings Connecticut and French students together to learn about our shared past. Most recently, she led a battlefield tour in France where participants were able to explore the trenches where Connecticut Guardsmen fought in the First World War.
