Work is in progress for the upcoming exhibit Everyone Has a Jeep, including the transport of three jeeps from Orlando, Florida, to The National World War II Museum in New Orleans. The exhibit will be the Museum’s largest macro exhibit to date, though our Capital Expansion plans include space for more macro exhibits. The exhibit opens May 1st, May Day or Labor Day in Europe, and runs through September 6th, Labor Day in the United States. The dates were chosen to commemorate the workers on both sides of the Atlantic whose labors made Allied victory possible. The jeeps and dozens of other vintage military vehicles will be parked outside for the June 5 - 6 60th Anniversary commemoration weekend.

Not only will they be on display, but we will start them up in an engine run up demonstration slated for 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 6.
