Battle of the Bulge

Join us as we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, one of World War II’s most significant events. Starting December 20, the museum will present an exhibit that tells the story of the resilience, strategy, and sacrifice that defined the winter of 1944-1945.

The exhibit highlights key moments that defined the battle, from the 101st Airborne Division’s defense of Bastogne to the 740th “Daredevils ” and General Patton’s Third Army’s decisive advance. Stories of tragedy and heroism, such as the poignant remembrance of the Wereth 11 massacre, underscore the human cost of the battle.

Discover how the Battle of the Bulge influenced the course of World War II and left a lasting impact on the fight for freedom.

“This is undoubtedly the greatest American battle of the war and will, I believe, be regarded as an ever-famous American victory.” ~ British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill
