Welcome to Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park

The Visitor Education Center provides educational and interactive exhibits designed for visitors of all ages, offering insights into the significant impact of WWII on daily life. Since its establishment in 2000, the park has been dedicated to preserving the history of the WWII home front.

Park staff work in collaboration with local partners, including the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County, to safeguard and maintain Richmond's historic WWII resources. While some historic sites are open to the public, others are being preserved for future restoration.
