The Rosie Spirit: 

Continuing to Answer the Call

The home front stories of RORI continue to inspire us to take action toward realizing our common purpose—

now and in the future.

Over the last 25 years, Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park has remained dedicated to commemorating the extraordinary contributions of women and workers on the Home Front during the war. 

 

This year, we celebrated our 25th anniversary through programming, preservation, and community engagement which includes new voices, new partnerships, and the powerful stories of resilience, innovation, and unity that shaped our nation and inspire the trailblazers of tomorrow.
