The National World War I Museum and Memorial opened on December 2nd, 2006 with the intention of honoring the memory of those who sacrificed their lives to preserve the independence of our country. With its extensive collection of historical artifacts and photographs, the museum provides an interactive narrative of the war through each of its exhibits, including how aviation and artillery affected the outcome of the war.
By chronicling of the war, the museum highlights how each generation has been affected by the conflict and the magnitude it has had on our history. Guests will see history come to life as they walk across the poppy field, listen to the music, and enjoy the beverages and delicious food. A souvenir gift shop sells postcards as well as vintage apparel. The museum operates on a rotating seasonal schedule.
