*The Central Florida WW2 Museum does not yet operate in a facility open to the public.
Funds are currently being raised to purchase a parcel of land for the construction of the
permanent collections/exhibits. A preview center housing detailed plans and a portion
of the collection will be opened in the future. Please stay tuned!
The Central Florida WW2 Museum currently conducts business operations in an executive office in
Tampa, Florida. This office is very modest and does not provide a venue for exhibition to the public.
While this space is extremely limiting, it has allowed us to operate rent and utility free for over
two years.
The next step in the development plan includes the eventual move to a larger temporary location.
This will allow us to display a portion of the Museum collections to the public, establish a preview
center, and focus our efforts on the purchase of a suitable site and construction of a permanent facility.
In order to achieve the first stage of the development plan, the Central Florida WW2 Museum will rely
on funds donated by individuals and businesses who believe in the Museum's mission. These funds will
be used to provide day to day necessities, develop educational programs, create temporary exhibits, and
work toward the second stage of development - the purchase of the permanent museum site.

Once a site is purchased, the property will be
transformed into an area suitable for hosting
living history events. These events will be
scheduled throughout the year and will
feature military camps, vehicles, uniforms,
weapons, and much, much more in a setting
taken straight from the history books.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see all
these elements up close and in person. This
interactive platform will encourage visitors
to engage in direct dialogue with the par-
ticipants of the events. The end result being
a personal educational experience catered to
the observations and interests of the ind-
ividual in a setting enjoyed by the masses.

The last stage of the development plan
includes the building of the permanent
exhibits and museum facilities. Once
complete, the Central Florida WW2
Museum will open its doors to a public
eager to learn about the greatest conflict
in history and the role their ancestors
played in liberating oppressed peoples
from an evil regime.
Through interactive exhibits featuring
artifacts, photographs, and personal
histories, visitors will be transported
back in time to experience World War II
as it was. New generations will begin to
understand that victory was never
guaranteed and when it came, it was at
great cost.
