Visit the Museum on November 13th and 14th for a re-enactment of June 1944 in France when the Allies had the Germans on the run! You'll be aboard a train heading across France under German control as French Resistance, U. S. and British give chase. Will the German General Von Kessinger escape? Will the Americans capture the train? YOU will be on his train to find out! Be sure your papers are in order, however. The Gestapo will be checking for Allied spies frequently!
Plan now to attend this action packed event. There will be Allied and German camps, equipment exhibits, authentic World War II vehicle and weapon displays, demonstrations and fabulous battle re-enactments.
The train rides depart at 11am and 2pm on Saturday and 12 noon on Sunday. Be sure to show up early to tour the equipment and camp sites.
Seating is limited! Advance reservations highly suggested. Reserve your tickets now available through our Online Ticket Office. Tickets are $14 for Adults, $8 for Children 3-11 and FREE for World War II Veterans.
