The Museum of 20th Century Warfare at Fort Harrison State Park will host a World War II Eastern Front re-enactment Saturday, March 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The museum is also hosting a historical display on March 2 and 3 to mark its seasonal opening.

The event will feature exhibits, uniforms, and weapons used during the war. It will start west of the museum and continue east toward the Camp Glenn National Historic District, ending near the park’s visitor center.

Visitors will be escorted to safe observation points to view the re-enactment. The first two observation points require walking on moderate to rugged terrain. The Camp Glenn battle, beginning at 1 p.m., will be accessible.

The display on March 2 and 3 will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Building 701 of the Camp Glenn Historic District. The museum’s regular hours will be Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The re-enactors are volunteer military historians who work to bring history to life. The Museum of 20th Century Warfare is a volunteer-run, non-profit museum. Its mission is to honor veterans through service and education with integrity. It hosts a schedule of military events throughout the year.

The only fee for the event is entrance to the park. For more information, contact the park visitor center at 317-591-0122 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
