Join us for a culinary experience in honor of the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the opening of the First Division Museum’s outdoor exhibit, Nothing But Victory. The evening will begin with a welcome cocktail reception before a guided tour of this magnificent exhibit with curator Jessica Waszak. She will share insight into the creation of the exhibit and the historical context of June 6, 1944. After this one-hour tour, you’ll sit down to a meal in the Tank Park expertly prepared by our Chef for a culinary journey through Normandy with French wine pairings.
Please note: The tour is outdoors and not on pavement. There are some terrain changes in the topography of the exhibit and few opportunities to sit down along the route. Dress accordingly and wear proper footwear.
