The Second World War affected the lives of so many people that today, sixty years
after the end of hostilities, many everyday citizens continue to house original
artifacts. Either their own or left behind by friends or family members who
participated in the war. These artifacts have fortunately been saved but, sadly, a
large number sit in closets, basements and attics unnoticed and time has begun to
wear them down. It is important that these items be found, preserved, and
maintained so they withstand the test of time and speak to future generations of
the sacrifice placed by so many for their benefit.
The Museum collection houses objects which document the storied history of
combat soldiers in World War II, and we are constantly seeking to acquire new
artifacts to add to our base. By donating artifacts, you can be assured that your
cherished history will be in the best possible care and enjoyed by the public.

Artifact bequests can be made to the Museum
by Will or Living Trust. The value of gifts by
bequest is deductible from the value of the
estate that is subject to estate tax. This may
reduce the rate at which the remainder of
your estate is taxed, thereby preserving the
value of the estate passed to heirs.
