Third Thursday: An Evening w/Rosie the Riveter!

  • 405 Main Street Belleville, MI, 48111 United States (map)

Do you ever wonder why you see ladies walking around town in blue coveralls and red and white polka dotted head kerchiefs? Learn who Rosie was and why they wear the uniform they do. Hear a little history about rations, victory gardens & the part that the Bomber plant at Willow Run Airport played during this time. Learn about what the Rosies are doing to help our sister facility, the Yankee Air Museum (YAM) move into the bomber plant and build a new hangar for their WWII-era flyable aircraft.

There will be a slideshow presentation and Q & A.

Doors open for tours and pizza delivered at 5:30pm, presentation at 6pm!

Free to Belleville Area Historical Society members, $5 for non members.
