| The Eldred World War II Museum is located in Eldred, Pennsylvania, 85 miles south of Niagara Falls, New York. 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. The Eldred World War II 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. |
Visitors to the Eldred World War II Museum and Learning Center are greeted with a quotation from American philosopher George Santayana: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” |
