While it started as a museum to honor World War II veterans, the museum has expanded to include conflicts from the Civil War forward and serviceman from all branches of service. Visit us to learn more about the heroic men and women who have served our country in times of war and peace.
Through programming and educational outreach we meet our mission of preserving the memories of America’s military history and facilitating the stories of veterans for the benefit and education of generations to come.
You can also watch a livestream of our Coffee and Conversation presentations on our YouTube channel.
On Saturday, July 26 at 10am, come to the Museum to hear Phil Waters speak. Waters is a military historian who has researched the very famous shooting down and death of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto during World War II. He will give a presentation outlining the planning, implementation, and controversy surrounding “Operation Vengeance” in 1943.
On July 12, Bill Purcell and Don Bates, who served in the United States Marine Corps during the Battle of
Hue, will share their stories at Coffee & Conversation. Both marines will discuss the role the USMC played in the battle as well as give some of their personal insight into this pivotal battle in the ancient city of central Vietnam.
The 40's Ball was outstanding! In addition to headliner Donny Most, the Satin Dolls, Hot Tomatoes Dance Orchestra, and other excellent acts, museum friend Bianca and her Fly Boys Quartet performed in The Hangar!
We had a great team with some last-minute swaps due to schedule changes and vehicle problems.
Thanks to Jim Mize, Tom Scholle, Elizabeth B, and Sara B. for their
ongoing support of the Tiger Team.
Thanks also to the last-minute temporary TT members, including a friend of Elizabeth's, Sara's friend Pearce, Caelyn B., and our new high school support member, JT McCluskey.
Looking forward to next years 40's Ball!
