Step back into the 1940s as the World War II Weekend transforms the historic railroad community of Pleasant Lake into a living celebration of America’s railroad, military and home front heritage Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 5 and 6.
This immersive two-day experience brings together a historic steam locomotive, vintage passenger trains, World War II reenactors, military encampments, historic vehicles, live big band music and unforgettable railroad adventures honoring the generation that carried a nation to victory.
Throughout the weekend, guests can explore authentic military camps, witness live battlefield reenactments, ride historic trains, tour educational exhibits and demonstrations and experience the sights, sounds and spirit of wartime America.
Visitors are encouraged, but never required, to wear period clothing and become part of the living history.
