WWII Defense Workers and the Arsenal of Democracy

Join Keith Huxen, special exhibit curator and Samuel Zemurray Stone Senior Director of Research and History, for an inside look at the Museum’s current special exhibit Manufacturing Victory: The Arsenal of Democracy.

Learn about the tremendous achievements of US industries, dollar-a-year men, and also the everyday defense workers from across the country. Examine artifacts, oral histories, and film clips from the special exhibit that uncover how US industries exceeded all production goals and contributed to the Allied victory through teamwork, innovation, and problem solving. Watch on your lunch hour, or at your convenience with recordings sent to every registrant. No need to worry about the technology—all you need is a computer with a high-speed internet connection to view and participate.

Cost: $10; Free for Museum members.
