The National WWII Museum’s latest travel experience will shine a spotlight on the institution’s home: the city of New Orleans. The exclusive Operation Home Front tour will showcase the best the Crescent City has to offer, including TripAdvisor's top attraction in the city and No. 4 in the nation: The National WWII Museum. Guests traveling on this one-time-only tour will take in VIP experiences of every kind—including a black-tie awards gala, an insider’s tour of the Museum, a ride on a restored patrol-torpedo boat and tickets to grand opening events for the Museum’s newest permanent exhibit.

This month, The National WWII Museum is celebrating 10 years of Knit Your Bit – a volunteer-based effort to collect and distribute hand-knit scarves to veterans. On September 17, knitters and crocheters are invited to participate in a knit-in beneath the suspended planes of the Museum’s US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center. During the event, which takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., area knitting shops will also display their crafts, and local students will distribute scarves to any veterans who visit the Museum.

Farewell to an early and steadfast friend of The National WWII Museum. 

At this free daylong public symposium, guests heard from leading historians on the challenges, battles, and victories that followed the June 6 Allied landings and made the liberation of Europe from Nazi oppression possible.
