Wartime Community Activities | WWII

During World War II, many American towns and cities changed almost overnight as war industries attracted thousands of new workers. To help maintain morale, reduce stress and provide healthy social ...activities, the U.S. government and local communities created recreation centers, dance halls, sports programs and other wartime entertainment facilities across the country.

This short film looks back at the community recreation programs of WWII — from music and dancing to organized events for workers and military families. These spaces became an important part of everyday life on the American home front during the war years.
