Opening of the World War II Home Front Museum

Join the Coastal Georgia Historical Society for the opening of the new World War II Home Front Museum in the Historic Coast Guard Station on St. Simons Island, the only permanent, standalone museum in the entire country relating to the World War II home front story. The museum tells the story of bold initiatives taken in Glynn County to protect our coast from German submarines, train fighter pilots, build Liberty Ships to supply troops overseas, and much more. State-of-the-art exhibits provide authentic and meaningful activities for visitors of all ages to engage in as they learn about this critical period in our nation’s history. The museum details Coastal Georgia's multifaceted role in WWII and shows how this community was innovative, industrious, and united when the world was at war and so much was at stake.
