Today in history: ‘D-Day’
D-Day didn’t end WWII, but it marked the beginning of the end. The massive June 6, 1944, invasion of Normandy successfully opened a vital "second front" in Western Europe. After pushing through France and enduring grueling battles like the Battle of the Bulge, the Allies finally forced the unconditional surrender of N**i Germany on May 8, 1945.
We are honored to have these items of Bernard Holscher at the museum.
Bernard’s division fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
These amazing pieces of history are just a small part of what you’ll discover here at the museum- We’re open until 4:00pm!

Spring and summer bring lots of outdoor projects…and outdoor beauty too! 🌺
Thanks to Baragary Construction we’ll now have a smooth sidewalk path leading up to the museum. The City of Syracuse also pitched in to help with the job and street access. We are grateful for the support of our local businesses and all of our volunteers!
Today would be an awesome day to come check out all the improvements…and take a stroll in the garden. 🪴 We’re open 1pm-4pm
