TRAVELING EXHIBITS: TURNING POINT

Curated by Larry Decuers and Seth Paridon

Exhibit Overview:

In the early, dark days of World War II, the remnants of the United States' Pacific Fleet fought a defensive withdrawal as the seemingly invincible Imperial Japanese forces extended the borders of their empire closer and closer to the US mainland. Stopping the Japanese onslaught would come down to a woefully out-gunned and outnumbered task force of aircraft carriers, diligent intelligence work and a handful of intrepid aviators.

This exhibit uses archival photos, maps and photos of artifacts to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Midway and other battles in the Pacific that turned the tide of war.

At this time, this exhibit is only available in the Digital Exhibit format.
