SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Veterans, anyone currently serving in the Armed Forces, and their families are being offered free admission into the Studebaker National Museum and The History Museum of South Bend on November 11.

A joint display will be available between the two museums called “Manufacturing Victory” that celebrates the response of our region’s manufacturers to America’s call during times of military conflict.

This display will showcase artifacts that include vehicles, munitions, textiles, jet engines, Studebaker’s horse-drawn army wagons and AM General’s iconic Humvee.

“Manufacturing Victory” will highlight the ingenuity of generations of workers, service members, business leaders, and the area’s history of defense production from 1853 to present day.

Both museums will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Veterans Day.
