Don't miss the special Speaker Series presentation by author Andrew Lawler tomorrow, Saturday, April 12th, 1pm to 2:30pm, here at the American Heritage Museum. He will discuss his book 'A Perfect Frenzy' which offers a striking new perspective on the American Revolution that reorients our understanding of its causes, highlights the radically different motivations between patriots in the North and South, and reveals the seeds of the nation’s racial divide.

Today, April 9th 2025, the American Heritage Museum honors National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day. April 9th was chosen as a day of remembrance because it marks the anniversary of the Bataan Death March in 1942. During this harrowing event, the Imperial Japanese Army forced between 60,000 and 80,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war to march 65 miles over eight grueling days. Along the way, prisoners were starved, beaten, and tortured—thousands lost their lives.At the museum, one way we honor the sacrifices of POWs is through our Hanoi Hilton exhibit. This powerful experience offers a glimpse into the minds of American prisoners of war in Vietnam through firsthand testimonies. It sheds light on the harsh realities and atrocities endured in prisons like the Hanoi Hilton.We invite you to take a moment today to reflect on the courage and sacrifices made by POWs throughout history. To those who endured unimaginable hardship in service to our country—we thank you.#AmericanHeritageMuseum #prisonerofwar #powmia ... See MoreSee Less
