The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world—why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today—so that all generations can understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn. Attendees will begin their tour with a private presentation from one of the museum’s resident historians on the role of industry and business in the war effort. From there, attendees will be free to explore the museum and watch the film. This custom experience is only available for ACCE Convention attendees.
