Experience the story of Michigan’s famed Arsenal of Democracy by visiting the Yankee Air Museum in Van Buren Township. The Yankee Air Museum highlights the story of the Willow Run B-24 Bomber Plant which played a critical role in ending WWII. The museum is just a few miles from one of the state’s most significant historical contributions to the Arsenal of Democracy – the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Henry Ford purchased the farmland property eventually constructing a 3.5 million square foot factory that at its peak produced a B-24 Liberator every 55 minutes. The Bomber Plant is also the home for the famed Rosie the Riveters, a cultural icon from WWII representing a significant period of women entering the workforce.
