The Evansville Wartime Museum opened in 2017 and is a community museum that works to showcase the Evansville area's WWII wartime contributions. The museum boasts many historical artifacts from the WWII era.  Did you know Evansville had such a rich history supporting the war effort?   Here's what the Evansville Wartime Museum says:

Evansville was a center of WWII production. Our community’s factories made the products that help our military fight the war on land, on sea and in the air. Thousands of new jobs, created virtually overnight, drew workers from Evansville and the surrounding counties in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. We show what they made, how they made it and where it helped win the war.

The Evansville Wartime Museum are no strangers to bringing special WWII planes to town to showcase, and coming up in August they've got something really cool coming to town AND you can even pay to go for a flight.
