From University of West Florida Historic Trust
The University of West Florida Historic Trust has scheduled Historic Pensacola’s 25th annual open house for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 6. In conjunction with Viva Florida’s Victory Florida campaign, the free event will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in swing dancing, dress up in a provided costume as Rosie the Riveter for their own “We Can Do It!” photograph, write a message of thanks to our service men and women, past and present, on a “Wall of Thanks” and search for clues in the “Passport to the Past” scavenger hunt. Guests will also learn about life in Pensacola during the war, Victory Gardens, the many roles women played in the war and how scrap metal materials were gathered and used to support the war effort. The open house includes free admission to the Historic Pensacola Village, the T.T. Wentworth Jr. Museum, the Pensacola Children’s Museum and Voices of Pensacola presented by Gulf Power as well as guided tours of many of the Historic Pensacola Village properties.
The “We Can Do It!” poster created in 1942 by artist J. Howard Miller for the Westinghouse Company’s War Production Coordinating featured an image of Rosie the Riveter.
Climmie the Clown will be visiting the Pensacola Children’s Museum and special programming is planned throughout the day at Voices of Pensacola, including the presentation “The S. S. San Pablo, A Brief History” by Stewart Hood at noon and a screening of “Pearl Harbor: One Last Goodbye” at 1 p.m. In addition, guests can explore the museums and participate in directed learning activities that will focus on Florida’s water resources and ecosystem in WaterVenture Florida’s Learning Lab, a 53-
foot semi-trailer that has been customized as a state-of-the-art traveling science center. Other organizations participating in the open house include Northwest Florida USO, American Red Cross, UWF Alumni Relations, the UWF Archaeology Institute, the Pensacola Archaeological Society and Next Exit History.
