The Experience, Richmond: Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front Holiday

The Experience:

A fun & meaningful holiday outing!

Though this can be a busy and overwhelming time, with a “to-do” list as long as a winter’s night, the true Rosies know how to roll up their sleeves and tackle it with poise and a jolly demeanor.

Rosies and Rangers decorated the Visitor’s Center for the season and invite you to come and learn about the WWII home front heroes through stories of resilience and unity. Many faces, many stories, many truths, weave a rich tapestry of experiences from this era of opportunity and loss.

Plus, they want you to take a fresh look at their Gift Shop. The Rosie National Park visitor center is a great place to bring your out-of-town guests or just go visit them again, if it’s been a while.

New staff, new merchandise and stocking stuffers for the national park and Rosie the Riveter fan on your shopping list.

The views of the water are fantastic and the Bay View Trail that runs by the Visitor Center is a wonderful place to walk with family & friends. Bring a picnic and make an afternoon of it.

Their doors are open during the holidays except for Christmas and New Year’s days!

Open Daily: 10am – 5pm
Entrance: There is no fee to enter the park visitor center.
Parking: Available in the Ford Plant parking lot
About
The “Home Front” refers to the collective efforts of civilians in a nation at war, working to support military forces overseas. During World War II, Americans united to meet this challenge, transforming industries, communities, and lives to power the fight for freedom. President Franklin Roosevelt’s vision of “The Arsenal of Democracy” inspired unprecedented social and economic changes, fueling the Allied victory and reshaping American society.
