Celebrating 75 YearsWaddell & Reed, along with its affiliate Ivy Funds, marks its 75th anniversary with the Honoring Our History traveling gallery.

Waddell & Reed produced the traveling gallery in partnership with the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial.

•Artifacts such as weapons, tools, equipment and uniforms.
•A walk-through trench that simulates the war environment.
•Videos and audio tracks.
•Headlines and historical descriptors.
