You might want to look at the National Park Service program 

at “Rosie the Riveter, Home front” National Historic Park located 

in Richmond California.  http://www.nps.gov/rori/



The plan (the park is currently under development) is to have a 

National Park staffed interpretive center, to interpret non-park 

owned historic sites nearby related to the home front efforts 

during WWII.  Sites include a portion of the former Kaiser ship 

yard that produced Liberty and Victory ships, one Victory ship 

(Red Oak Victory) a building used to prepare vehicles for 

shipment overseas (site of the interpretive center) along with 

housing developments, a hospital and a child care facility set up 

to support the workers.



I believe a similar plan is used by the NPS to interpret women’s 

history, with information at
