Wright Museum of WW II History

An educational museum that covers the World War II years from 1939 to 1945, both on the home front and the war theaters. There is an eight-minute introductory video that should be seen before starting the tour. The displays are varied, informative, and well done.

Wright Museum of WWII History

Small World War II museum. Traveled from Maine to check this place out, and it was worth it! Not super fancy, but a lot of fun.

In addition to its indoor tank (and other equipment), this museum has an outside wall designed to make it look as if another real tank has blasted through it.
