Calling All Local WWII Veterans!Every October, as part of our “Battle for the Airfield” WWII reenactment, we host a WWII veterans round table discussion, giving us the unique opportunity to learn about history from those who lived it. This year, we are looking for as many local WWII veterans as possible to attend. The round table will be hosted once a day on both Saturday and Sunday, October 10th and 11th, at the American Heritage Museum, located at 568 Main Street, Hudson, MA. So, if you know a WWII veteran that may be interested in sharing their story, please reach out to our Education Coordinator, Jim Carroll, at Jcarroll@AmericanHeritageMuseum.org for more details. We would be more than happy to host you!#AmericanHeritageMuseum #AmericanVeterans #VisitMA #LivingHistory ... See MoreSee Less

Stow and Hudson Community Weekend – Free Admission for Residents

December 6, 2025 @ 10:00 am, ending December 7, 2025 @ 5:00 pm

Free with proof of residency

Voted as one of the top 10 military history museums in the world by National Geographic, the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, Massachusetts is one of the nation’s most extraordinary collections of military vehicles, aircraft, and artifacts chronicling America’s fight for freedom from the Revolutionary War through today. Operated by the Collings Foundation, the museum immerses visitors in powerful exhibits that bring history to life — from the trenches of World War I and the beaches of D-Day to the skies over Korea and the jungles of Vietnam. With more than 100 restored tanks, vehicles, and interactive displays, the museum offers a vivid, hands-on experience that educates and inspires visitors of all ages.

As part of its commitment to community engagement, the American Heritage Museum will offer free admission to all residents of Hudson and Stow on December 6th and 7th, 2025. This special weekend of appreciation invites local families, students, and veterans to explore the museum’s world-class exhibits and discover the stories of courage, innovation, and sacrifice that shaped our nation. The event is a gesture of gratitude to the museum’s hometown communities for their continued support and an opportunity to share the educational and historical value the museum brings to the region. Please bring proof of residency.
