Eighty years ago, veterans of World War II were starting to come home, able to spend the holidays with their families again in peacetime. As we reflect on the happiness they experienced, let us all find peace, joy, and comfort with our loved ones as we share this precious time of year. From all of us at the American Heritage Museum, Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings to you, wherever you are, and our best wishes for a happy and healthy 2026! ![]()

Speaker Series: Cold War Massachusetts - Tomorrow, 12/12 at 2:30.![]()
Did you know MIT in Cambridge became one of the most important research centers for U.S. Cold War defense technology, especially through its Lincoln Laboratory, founded in 1951. The lab played a major role in developing the SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) air-defense system—one of the earliest large-scale computer networks, and a precursor to modern digital command-and-control and networking technologies. Learn more tomorrow!
