At War & At Home

Experience the History!

Step back to the 1940s and immerse yourself in the World War II era.  Come to the museum for authentic World War II military vehicles, reenactors, weapons demonstrations, children’s activities, and more. This year, with a focus on women in WWII,  we have something for everyone- from our kids’ obstacle course to World War II trivia, there’s something to keep you busy all day long. 

Hot dogs, brats, chips, and pop/water also available for purchase thanks to St. Joseph Meat Market, Cold Spring Bakery, and Bernicks.  We will also have cookies donated by the Lakes & Pines Girls Scouts!
