Description
Greatest Generation WW II Museum is located in the Szilagyi Center in Rowlesburg, WV. It is one of a kind museum with more than 57 exhibits.
When we get the B & O Railroad Depot renovated we are planning to make a railroad museum in it. We are hoping to get this accomplished within the next year to 18 months. We are hoping to be able to complete the gravel road that leads up to the Civil War site this Summer, if we can get the done maybe it will enable us to get funding to finish the development of the Civil War Site, "Cannon Hill."
We are gathering and editing materials for a Histories of families that settled and lived in this area.
