The Yankee Air Museum offers a private tour of its new interactive: Women Answer the Call exhibit FOR MEDIA on Friday, September 8th beginning at 9:30am. Participants should report to the Museum at the Willow Run Airport located on 47884 D Street, Bellville, MI. Please park on the south
side of the building off D Street, which is the staff entrance. To reserve your spot, contact Julie Osborne at 734-219-5453 or julie.osborne@yankeeairmuseum.org.
After 18 months of development and construction, the Women Answer the Call exhibit celebrates the history of
what happened at Willow Run during World War II when women left their homes to work in factories supporting
the war effort. Visitors will get a glimpse of local Rosie the Riveters that went to work in the Ford Willow Run
Bomber Plant in Ypsilanti. Guests will learn about the many roles women played in the war, both in industry and
military, see fascinating artifacts from local families, and partake in a hands-on riveting demonstration. The Media
Day tour will also include Yankee Air Museum’s Tribute Rosies and Original Rosies who worked at the Bomber
Plant and other factories in Detroit during the war.
