Battle for the Airfield
The last edition has finished and the organiser has not yet published dates for the next one. Going by previous years, expect it around early October 2027 — but that is our projection, not an announcement, and nothing is settled until the organiser publishes the dates. Check with the organiser before you travel: americanheritagemuseum.org.
About
The American Heritage Museum, built around the Jacques Littlefield tank and vehicle collection in Hudson, Massachusetts, stages a two-day WW2 battle reenactment each October billed as one of the premier events of its type in the country. Over 350 Allied and Axis reenactors fight two staged battles a day across the museum's grounds, with visitor access to the museum's armour and aircraft collection included.
Programme
The programme for the next edition hasn’t been published yet. It goes up here as soon as the organiser releases it.
Getting there
Last held at The American Heritage Museum, 568 Main Street, Hudson, MA 01749
The American Heritage Museum is at 568 Main Street, Hudson, MA 01749; the organiser's own site specifically warns the site is NOT reachable via Barton Road despite what some map apps suggest. Free on-site parking, with overflow grass-area parking used at peak times. This is a separately ticketed reenactment weekend rather than standard museum admission: single-day tickets are USD40 adult / USD35 senior (62+) / USD30 veteran-military-first responder / USD25 student (16 and under), with veterans 85+ and under-3s free; a two-day weekend pass is USD70 / USD60 / USD50 / USD40 in the same tiers, with a 25% discount for museum members. Optional paid tank rides (10-minute M24 Chaffee or M4 Sherman rides, USD595 per group) are sold separately.
