Mission
Interpret the diverse history of the Rockford region and enrich our community by providing high quality exhibits, programs, and events.
Experience
Fast forward from our typical 1890s to the 1940s, where the vehicles are faster, technology has advanced, and the world is smaller. Visit Allied and Axis camps, tour the reproduction WWI era trench system, and learn about Homefront activities.
"We had an amazing time at World War II days at Midway Village...We learned so much and the reenactors are awesome. We met several soldiers from Poland, US, Spain, Germany, USSR, Ukraine, Great Britain and other countries. All were extremely knowledgeable on who they were portraying and extremely friendly with the kids."
