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
