Atlanta History Center honors female veterans.
The Atlanta History Center unveiled Our War Too: Women in Service in October. The exhibit in the Nicholson Gallery spotlights the nearly 350,000 American women who served during World War II. On view through August, the exhibition from The National WWII Museum explores the experiences of women across all military branches, including the Women’s Army Corps, WAVES, Coast Guard SPARs, Women Marines and Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
Immersive technology sets the exhibit apart. Visitors can flip through interactive scrapbooks created by servicewomen, watch film installations featuring modern women in military service and engage in AI-powered conversations with three WWII veterans, asking questions and receiving authentic responses drawn from extensive oral histories. Additionally, personal artifacts and original film content reveal how these pioneers broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of women in uniform. Those interested in World War II history can also explore the Center’s companion exhibit, Their Finest Hour: Atlanta Remembers World War II, honoring Georgia’s broader wartime contributions. Admission to the Atlanta History Center is $27 for nonmembers; members are free.
