One of the greatest WWII re-enactments in the world. Coming up October 7th & 8th. For tickets: www.americanheritagemuseum.org/event/wwii-re-enactment-battle-for-the-airfield-october-2023/
Still time to make it to the American Heritage Museum for today's Speaker Series featuring author James Ellman. He will be talking about his book MacArthur Reconsidered. Starts at 2:00 PM.
One of the great highlights during our WWII Re-enactment (October 7th & 8th) is the WWII Veterans Roundtable discussion. Veterans from all branches of service talk about what they were doing during the war before a very captive audience. If you know a WWII Veteran who would like to participate please send an email to Hunter Chaney at hchaney@collingsfoundation.org
We are still a go for this weekend's WWI & Aviation Event at the American Heritage Museum. Though the forecast of wind and rain on Saturday might prevent us from flying, the presentations on the featured aircraft will still go on in the hangar. Any pre-purchase tickets for Saturday will be honored on Sunday for visitors thinking of waiting. See more at our update email at the link below:
