The museum is dedicated to restoring the Higgins to its original & complete operational order. Why operational order & not just a general surface or cosmetic restoration? Because history is much more engaging & entertaining to learn about when it can also be heard, felt, smelled & experienced. To restore one of the few Higgins Boats to full operational order, to re-enact the beach landings from 'Operation Overlord' is to learn & experience history with all our senses. The Higgins Boat is staged at the Victory Forge Military Academy in Port St. Lucie FL. The cadets at Victory Forge also participate in the restoration project giving the boys enrolled at Victory Forge a wonderful opportunity to learn more about history, veterans and to interface with others interested in history, veterans and community service.
