Are you interested in the geography of World War II Glider Operations? Just love maps? Join the Silent Wings Museum for Connecting with Maps!

Saturday November 23, 2024 2-4pm. Program is included in the cost of admission.

The program begins at 2:00pm with a guided tour of the Silent Wings Museum exhibit, Unfamiliar Territory, highlighting unique maps used by the World War II Glider Pilots as they accomplished their missions behind enemy lines.

Meet a Geographic Information Systems professional to learn about the skills and technology of modern mapmaking, a career choice with many possibilities.

While adults and teens enjoy interacting with our Connecting with Maps program, younger children can stop at the Education Space and color a cloth map printed with a period map related to Operation Market Garden. There is something for all ages!
