Home Front U.S.A.

home_front

An exhibit devoted to life on the home front during World War II takes visitors back to a world defined by rationing and war bond drives. A re-creation of the entrance to Pensacola's Isis Theater leads to a setted street where a Marine, home on leave, gets a shoe shine in front of the local barbershop. Neon signs glow with the names of Pensacola establishments of the era, and re-creations of a wartime household and general store immerse visitors in day-to-day life during the early '40s.
