The Eldred World War II Museum is located in Eldred, Pennsylvania, 85 miles south
of Niagara Falls, New York. The Museum opened on Memorial Day, 1996,
dedicated to the memory of the U.S. fighting forces and the 40 million people on
the home front who provided our fighters with the war materials they needed.
During World War II, Eldred was the site of a British and American munitions plant
that produced eight million bombs, mortar shells and fuses. Fifteen hundred
people worked there, 24 hours a day, from January 1942 to May 1945, supporting
the war effort.
