DALE CITY, Va. -- A new Americans in Wartime Museum hopes planes and tanks will draw automobiles.
Groundwork preparation for the $80 million facility has already begun on a 70-acre site behind a K-Mart store on Dale Boulevard in Dale City. The museum, once complete, will tell the story of people who fought in every U.S. war since World War I, as well as first responders on the homefront, featuring fully restored military vehicles, a “landscapes of war” exhibit that will allow visitors to experience what war fighting conditions were like on the ground and in the trenches, and the museum will feature tours and lectures led by wartime veterans.
When complete, The Americans in Wartime Museum will join the ranks of the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico and a planned Army museum at Fort Belvoir. Tourism officials have dubbed the stretch of Interstate 95 on which the museum will sit between Fairfax and Stafford counties Virginia’s “wartime corridor.”
