Join us at Hopewell Community Park on September 26–27, 2026, for an immersive World War II living‑history event honoring the Battle of Hürtgen Forest and the sacrifices made both overseas and on the homefront.Step into the fall of 1944 as reenactors establish period‑accurate German and American camps, offering visitors a close look at the uniforms, equipment, and daily challenges faced by soldiers in one of the war’s most difficult and overlooked battles. Throughout the weekend, guests can explore the encampments, watch demonstrations, and speak with living historians dedicated to preserving the stories of those who served.
Beyond the front lines, the event also highlights life on the American homefront, showcasing how families supported the war effort through rationing, volunteerism, and industrial labor. Educational displays and presentations help visitors understand the shared sacrifices that helped shape the course of the war.
On Saturday evening, everyone is invited to a USO‑style dinner and dance, complete with period music, great food, and an atmosphere reminiscent of the spirited gatherings that boosted morale during wartime. The event is open to both reenactors and the public.
Experience history, honor service, and preserve the legacy of those who gave so much—both at home and abroad.
