A great learning experience about the airborne mission before D-Day - The museum has an actual glider and C-47 on display. There is also a lot of actual equipment, photos, and displays about the airborne experience. We've all heard about the guy who got stuck on the church, learn the rest of the story here and see where it happened. There is so much more to the story than what most books and movies share. Come and learn about this important mission.
