Experience stories of American sacrifice, unity, and might in WWII history.
Welcome to the WWII American Experience Museum and Education Center in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We strive to educate the public about the American sacrifices made during the world’s largest conflict of the 20th century, both on the battlefield and on the homefront, and honor their dedication to win the war and preserve freedom.
Here we can experience a wide variety of authentic WWII vehicles, uniforms and artifacts in realistic dioramas and exhibits that portray, not just the battlefield, but the home front as well. Take in a re-enactment or one of our living history programs available as well as speakers, seminars, interactive offerings and simulated and real vehicle experiences.
The new facility is built around a desire to tell the stories of how the United States and its allies came together in a critical time to overcome the Axis powers, defeat one of humankind’s greatest enemies, and forge a new path to freedom.
