About The World War II Museum:
Until recently, there was a World War II Museum within the Park, operated
by a non-profit volunteer organization (The Historical Society Of
The American Memorial Park, Inc.). The recent dissolution by the
Historical Society resulted in closure of the Museum Building.
The exhibits and artifacts are now in care of the National Park Service,
pending future redisplay. Therefore, a virtual museum
is presented here online, consisting of many exhibits from the Historical
Society, the Park grounds, and other World War II historical sites in
the Northern Mariana Islands.
Special recognition is due for the Officers, Members, and Donors of
The Historical Society Of The American Memorial Park who have
served the public by preserving and exhibiting these materials in recent
years.
