80 Years Later: Aurora Remembers D-Day
March 5, 2024 - July 7, 2024
On June 6, 1944, in what remains history's largest seaborne invasion, 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel. Officially known as Operation Neptune, but remembered as D-Day, the Allied liberation of Normandy changed the tide of the WWII and left thousands dead. Explore D-Day stories of Aurorans and learn how technologies developed in our own backyard helped the Allies win in Europe.
Have you ever wondered when and why the Aurora Reservoir was built? Are you curious about the history behind your favorite city park? Come check out the museum's latest exhibit, “The Great Outdoors of Aurora. The new display will celebrate Aurora’s vibrant outdoor opportunities and dive deep into the history behind the activities we love.
