The Museum of 20th Century Warfare at Fort Harrison State Park will host a World War II Eastern Front reenactment on Saturday, March 7.

The event will feature exhibits, uniforms, and weapons used during the war. A reenactment will start at 10 a.m., west of the museum, and continue east toward the Camp Glenn National Historic District. The reenactment will end at 2 p.m. at the Camp Glenn area near the park’s visitor center.

Volunteers will escort visitors to observation points to watch the reenactors throughout their path of travel. Accessing the first two observation points requires a walk on moderate to rugged terrain — if you have physical disabilities, plan to observe the Camp Glenn battle, which starts at approximately 1 p.m.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the same day, members of the museum will host a historical display in Building 701 of the Camp Glenn Historic District. This event will mark the seasonal opening of the museum, which, after Saturday, will be open on Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.

The reenactors are volunteer military historians who work to bring history to life. The museum is a volunteer-run, non-profit whose mission is to honor veterans through service and education with integrity. The museum stages military events at the park throughout the year.

The Eastern Front program is a free event; however, the normal park gate fee applies. For more information, call 317-591-0122, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. daily. Fort Harrison State Park (on.IN.gov/fortharrisonsp) is at 6000 N. Post Road, Indianapolis, 46216.
