D-Day at 80
Cantigny commemorates the 80th anniversary of D-Day with an expansive new outdoor exhibit. Anyone who’s visited the First Division Museum at Cantigny Park (1S151 Winfield Rd., Wheaton) will likely recall its immersive D-Day exhibit, which re-creates the beaches of Normandy and the hazards soldiers faced when they landed in Europe on June 6, 1944. This summer, to mark the 80th anniversary of the largest amphibious invasion in history, Cantigny is expanding upon its indoor exhibit with a new creation that takes full advantage of the park’s broad outdoor space. Opening June 6, Nothing But Victory will feature sculptural elements surrounding the museum to give visitors a better understanding of the invasion’s landscape. “I was there in Normandy in 2017, and for those who have been there on the beach, looking across the water, and the sand, and up these hills, there’s nothing that can top that to reflect on those moments,” says Jessica Waszak, curator of the First Division Museum at Cantigny. “Many people may never make that journey, and I wanted to create that power of movement and place and memory here.”
