HUDSON – The Collings Foundation and the American Heritage Museum will host their Battle for the Airfield World War II reenactment on four occasions between Saturday, Oct. 9 and Sunday, Oct. 10. 

The weekend will also include a World War II Veterans roundtable discussion. 

“Will the Allied troops be able to gain control of the airfield? Can they further their advancement? Battle for the Airfield is a WWII living history event you will never forget,” a press release announcing the event asked.

There will be two battles per day at 11:00 a.m. and again at 3:00 p.m. The Veterans roundtable discussion will start at 1:00 p.m. Battle outcomes may change from one day to the next. The American Heritage Museum and Historic Aircraft Hangar will be open to the public through the weekend. 

The American Heritage Museum is located at 568 Main Street in Hudson. Admission costs $35 for adults and $30 for seniors and veterans. Children under 12 can get into the event for $20. Discount rates are available through online ticket purchase at  www.AmericanHeritageMuseum.org.
