On June 2, 2020, we had a roundtable discussion on the significance of D-Day and its legacy. Led by Dawn Hammatt, Director of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, the roundtable features historians Dr. Allyson Stanton instructor at Gogebic community college, Dr. Benjamin Schneider instructor at George Mason University and Dr. Tyler Bamford, the National WWII Museum’s inaugural Sherry and Alan Leventhal Research Fellow.

Join us for a virtual planetarium show in partnership with the Boston Museum of Science to see the night sky as they saw it on June 6, 1944, on the beaches of France.

On D-Day, Higgins boats landed thousands of GIs on French shores. Often overlooked in comparison to the LCVP is its "big brother"—the Landing Craft Mechanized.

Students and families—as we near the 76th anniversary of D-Day, join Michael Arvites and Laura Romero-Ballesteros, both Master Teachers and alumni of the Museum’s Summer Teacher Institute, for a live interactive webinar on Operation Overlord, in which you will analyze the strategic decisions of military planners and how the Allies pulled off the greatest amphibious invasion in history.
