Join us April 25–26 for a special weekend honoring the men and women who served during the Vietnam War.
Step into history as the Museum of the American G.I. hosts an outdoor Vietnam-era living history display. Explore an authentic tent camp, see military vehicles used by U.S. Army and Marine Corps forces, and speak with historians and interpreters about the experiences of those who served.
Guests will also have the opportunity to experience history firsthand by riding in a historic M113 armored personnel carrier, offering a glimpse of the vehicles that carried troops during the conflict.
This weekend is an opportunity to learn more about the conflict, hear stories of service and sacrifice, and recognize the courage of the Vietnam veterans whose contributions were too often overlooked when they returned home.
The museum building will be open during the event, though Sunday hours will be slightly modified due to a private function. The outdoor hands-on history displays will continue throughout the day.
The event is included with Museum Admission.
