CAF Airbase Georgia Displays Kennesaw State University Traveling WWII Exhibit
PEACHTREE CITY, GA. (Feb. 20, 2026) – Georgia Journeys, a traveling exhibit from Kennesaw State University that provides historic World War II insights from eight individuals, is on display at Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Georgia until March 6, 2026. Airbase Georgia, 1200 Echo Ct., Peachtree City, Ga., is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Drawing on testimony obtained through the Museum of History and Holocaust Education's Legacy Series oral history project, the full exhibition follows the experiences of 12 people whose lives intersected in Georgia, but whose journeys took them across the world. The traveling exhibit, which consists of eight of the 12 biographies, also provides a glimpse into President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's unique Georgia Journey that occurred between 1924 and his death in Warm Springs in 1945.
Georgia Journeys follows the lives of WWII veterans, homefront workers, and Holocaust survivors who came to call Georgia their home. Stories include Jane Tucker’s journey to work as a Rosie the Riveter in the Savannah shipyards, Guy Gunter’s service as a glider pilot on D-Day, Dr. Hillard Pouncy’s experiences as a Tuskegee Airman, and Norbert Friedman’s survival of 11 concentration camps. “This high-quality program supports Airbase Georgia’s mission to educate, inspire and honor,” said Airbase Leader Mark Richards. “Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the Georgia Journeys traveling exhibit and see many of our WWII aircraft as we maintain and restore them.”
