3. Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park – Richmond, CA

This unique museum honors all the brave women who helped to secure a victory in World War II on the home front. The Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park was built in a shipyard in Richmond, California, primarily because it already housed many different structures leftover from WWII, and was an important site during the war effort. When you first arrive, head into the Rosie the Riveter Visitor’s Center, so you can explore all the exhibits on the history of women’s wartime contributions and learn about what life would have been like for the workers in the shipyard. Then, you can walk around the grounds, and explore the various historic sites scattered throughout the area. Fridays are the most popular days to visit — there are always programs given by real life Home Front veterans.

Join us and @GoParks in celebrating the history of Rosie the Riveter on August 11th at @RosieRiveterNPS in Richmond, CA. The event is free and open to all! https://t.co/MKvOjMQ6BV #FindYourPark #EncuentraTuParque pic.twitter.com/h83cEMGVNU
