Description

We are delighted to host “Tarheel Hal,” a P-47 fighter plane made in Evansville at Republic Aviation Indiana Division in 1945. Men and women from Evansville and the surrounding area built this very aircraft. They built it in a factory less than a mile from the Museum! In the Home Front Gallery, you’ll find information about the Republic factory.

We feature the story of how Evansville became the factory’s location, the floor plan, production photos, and more. Machinery once used in the factory stands in our Main Hall near where “Tarheel Hal” stands on display. In addition, wander through our other galleries for the full presentation of our region’s contributions to victory in WWII.
