FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2025
10:30 AM to 12:30 AM
GROUP VISIT: GHOST ARMY EXHIBIT AT THE SOLDIERS MEMORIAL + OPTIONAL LUNCH
Admission is free.
Ghost Army: The Combat Con Artists of World War II explores the story of the US Army’s 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, a top-secret unit who waged war with inflatable tanks and vehicles, fake radio traffic, sound effects, and even phony generals. This carefully selected group of artists, engineers, professional soldiers, and draftees—armed with nothing heavier than .50 caliber machine guns—saved thousands of lives and played an important part in Allied victory in World War II.
The Soldiers Memorial is at 1315 Chestnut Street.

Optional lunch afterwards at Chris’ @ The Docket.
