Join Us for a Journey Into WWII’s Hidden History!
πŸͺ– Come to the Lake Wales History Museum for a special event that shines a spotlight on a seldom-told story of World War IIβ€”the vital role of America’s Military Railway Service. πŸš‚
This event focuses on the 722nd Railway Operating Battalion, Company C, which was proudly sponsored by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, which was an essential line that ran right through Lake Wales. Learn how these railroaders trained in the U.S. and supported the war effort overseas through fascinating stories, authentic artifacts, and expert interpretation.
This family-friendly event is free to attend and offers an unforgettable opportunity to step back in time and experience a piece of history you won’t find in most textbooks.
