WEEKEND WARGAMES:

Our Weekend Wargames simulate World War II battles or campaigns, from all theaters — on land, sea and air. Wargames are often scheduled to coincide with important World War II anniversaries, like the Battle of the Bulge, Operation Market Garden or the Battle of Midway. All of our Weekend Wargames are led by volunteer hobbyists in our region, who donate their time, game materials and expertise to run these games for Museum visitors.
