Many men and women of the Arcadia area have served our country throughout their lives in the cause of freedom. This display is dedicated to those who served.

Animated View: Military Service Exhibit
When you walk up the stairs to the museum's second floor, the first display you come to is this one. The images above provide a 360-degree view beginning with a display case filled with medals and ending with posters from World War II. (5 images, 5 second delay)

World War II News
This is a copy of the front page of the Detroit News announcing Hitler's death. Note the headline "Hitler's Death May Prove Nazi Trick." With little but German announcements to use as input, the information is received with skepticism.

After the War
This photo was taken by long-time Arcadia resident Bub Brown in Europe in 1946 while he was waiting to come home. The photo shows a smiling Truman and General Eisenhower. Click here for a close-up view.
