Consider a Tax Deductible Donation to the Museum.
The 1944 War Museum, located in Washington, Missouri, is a tribute to all who served during WWII. The curators have been collecting WWII items, followed their parents/grandparents Footsteps through the War, collecting for years, and want to share their knowledge and collection with others. There is a special tribute wall to all veterans from our local area. The Museum wants to preserve the legacy for future generations through education and remembrance.
