Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
History in Our Backyard Lecture Series (Webinar/Live)
These programs feature local, national and international speakers. Local speakers generally have been individuals we have interviewed as part of our organization's mission. Individuals present on the area(s) in which they contributed to winning the Cold War, writing about, or presentation about the Cold War (including the Space Race).
Pre-coronavirus pandemic, we held live programs in Mar-Apr-May and Sep-Oct-Nov at the Fuge, 780 Falcon Circle, Warminster, PA 18974. Since June 2020, we converted to a webinar format and have been able to expand our offerings to monthly events.
Annual Veterans Tribute
Event to celebrate and to thank local Veterans for their sacrifices, with a focus on "Cold War Warriors."
Traditionally, this event was a live open house event at The Fuge, 780 Falcon Circle, Warminster, PA 18974. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we have temporarily suspended live programming, but we intend to restart this program at the earliest (and safe) opportunity.
Southeastern Pennsylvania Veterans Virtual Wall of Honor Project
We created a website, unveiled in November 2020, that allows for the upload of Veterans' biographical profiles and photographs; these individuals are both living and deceased and were born or resided in the southeastern Pennsylvania area.

Display Room of Naval Air Development Center and Cold War Artifacts
This is a display room, located at The Fuge in Warminster, PA, includes permanent and rotating exhibits related to programs and achievements of the former Naval Air Development Center, Warminster, PA. Other displays will focus on Cold War-related themes in keeping with the focus of our organization.
