ACES Museum is a unique site that houses two separate historical sites. Tours will take place each hour from 12 PM to 6 PM of the WWII ACES MUSEUM, and recently opened “Makin’ Da Nade” Slavery Museum, in lower level of facility. This experience is unique since WWII veterans of color and slaves had a presence here.
