Explore the three-story Eldred World War II Museum, which tells the story of World War II, including the town's role in it.

In fact, Eldred was home to the National Munitions Company, originally serving the British Armed Services, during World War II.

However, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the plant began ammunition production for the American Armed Forces. At the time, 95 percent of the National Munitions Company's employees were women.

And, the company made hand grenades, bombs, and trench mortars.

Today, the town is home to the Eldred World War II Museum, which honors the men and women who made so many sacrifices during World War II.

The museum features a library, home to more than 8,000 books that focus on World War II.

Of course, the museum also hosts events throughout the year and educational tours for schools and other groups.

Admission to the museum is $5. Visitors, who are 18 years and younger, are free.

Delve into the rich history of World War II at Eldred World War II Museum, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. from April through December.
