The Civilian Conservation Corps camps: From tree soldiers to real soldiers.

In partnership with PBS affiliate WYES-TV, The National WWII Museum is proud to announce a national interactive Electronic Field Trip (EFT) focused on the American Home Front. Debuting on November 4 with two live webcasts (10:00 am and 1:00 pm CST), “We’re All in This Together! How Students Like YOU Helped Win World War II,” will teach today’s young people what it was like to be a student during this critical time in American history, creating important links with the past. The Museum will also use the field trip as an opportunity to launch its signature service-learning project, “Get in the Scrap!”

With George Lucas’ Red Tails soaring at the box office, The National WWII Museum announces its acquisition and restoration of a P-51 Mustang, the aircraft depicted in Hollywood’s drama about the courageous fighter pilots known as the Tuskegee Airmen.

Opening on March 4, 2021, SOLDIER | ARTIST: Trench Art in World War II,  the newest special exhibit at The National WWII Museum, explores the military pastime known as “trench art”—the creation of art, souvenirs and tools out of discarded materials and the waste of war.
