This past saturday afternoon, my lovely wife Cheryl and I visited the Illinois Railway Museum, located in the town of Union Illinois. www.irm.org
The museum was hosting a two day special event entitled "World War 2 Days". Actors from various World War 2 Re enactment societies were on hand, re enacting battles between Allied and Axis forces, as well as displays of military guns and various other weapons. Many actors appearing at the museum included people playing the parts of Civilians wearing 1940's era clothes. Several ladies wore period dresses with gloves and ladies hats as well.
From time to time "Gunshots" would ring out from the field south of the museum's grounds during the mock staged battles.
It was definately an interesting day to visit the museum.
Thanks.
