Calling All Local WWII Veterans!Every October, as part of our “Battle for the Airfield” WWII reenactment, we host a WWII veterans round table discussion, giving us the unique opportunity to learn about history from those who lived it. This year, we are looking for as many local WWII veterans as possible to attend. The round table will be hosted once a day on both Saturday and Sunday, October 10th and 11th, at the American Heritage Museum, located at 568 Main Street, Hudson, MA. So, if you know a WWII veteran that may be interested in sharing their story, please reach out to our Education Coordinator, Jim Carroll, at Jcarroll@AmericanHeritageMuseum.org for more details. We would be more than happy to host you!#AmericanHeritageMuseum #AmericanVeterans #VisitMA #LivingHistory ... See MoreSee Less

AHM Presentation: Remembering Pearl Harbor and U.S. Entry Into WWII

December 7, 2022 @ 2:00 pm, ending 3:30 pm

$10 – $20

Join us at the American Heritage Museum for a compelling talk about the attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States’ entry into WWII. Hosted by American Heritage Museum President Rob Collings and Lead Docent Colin Rixon, we will discuss “the day that will live in infamy.” The motivations of Japan to attack Pearl Harbor,  how they executed the raid and its aftermath will be covered.

We will also highlight the history of our Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk and Waco UIC aircraft currently on display. The P-40 Tomahawk is the last flying fighter that survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Waco UIC was operated by the first American civilian casualty of WWII, Bob Tyce. He was killed by a strafing Japanese Zero fighters at John Rogers airfield in Hawaii.
