Battle of the Bulge Weekend
Dec. 28 and 29, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, American Heritage Museum, 568 Main St., Hudson. This event commemorates the 80th anniversary of the German offensive siege that surrounded and cut off the Allies in the Ardennes region of Europe during the winter of 1944/1945. More than 40 re-enactors of the 101st Airborne Division and other Allied forces will be entrenched in encampments in our woods, encircled by more than 40 German re-enactors in opposing positions, recreating the dire weeks of uncertainty that took place eight decades ago before the Allies were able to push forward.
Adding to the experience of going back in time, all guests will be shuttled from the museum to the encampments and back on a 1943 vintage M3 Half Track or 1943 Dodge Command Car, like ones used by soldiers at that time.
