WORLD WAR II TRIBUTE

Buckley Homestead Living History Farm

"Recognizing and honoring World War II Veterans"

An HRS event sponsored by US 9th Infantry, the 353rd German Infantry, and the 2620th WAC Battalion

May 5 & 6, 2012

Watch for updates about 2012

 

Re-enactors from all over the Midwest, and some from as far away as Canada, don authentic uniforms and use restored military equipment to portray that most important time period in our history. Throughout the weekend, the park comes to life with memories of the war years, both military and on the homefront. If you are a veteran, history enthusiast, or would just like to learn more about the 1940s era, this is the place for the entire family. It's wonderful for families and students.
