1 min read

The Dunkirk Historical Museum has announced the opening of a new display in honor of our local veterans.

The specter of the Cold War provided an intense backdrop for life and politics on home soil, and the public is invited to come learn about the experience of members of the U.S. Army on the inner German border in the 1970s. The display features uniforms and equipment of service members on both sides of the conflict, as well as original objects from the Fulda Gap and behind the Iron Curtain.

Open to the public through Jan. 8. The museum’s main display, “That ’70s Exhibit,” will still be on display through the end of the year. These exhibits can be viewed during regular open hours: from 9 a.m. to noon Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday and 4:30 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5.

For special tours, call at 716-366-3797. Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.

Starting at /week.
