Join us for a day of commemoration as we honor the centennial anniversary of the Battle of Cantigny.

The first offensive major battle American forces fought in World War I, The Battle of Cantigny, had a significant impact on the life of Col. Robert R. McCormick. After arriving home from his service, Col. McCormick, renamed his family estate Cantigny after the battle.

To celebrate this historic anniversary, the First Division Museum will be offering moments of reflection with a memorial ceremony and poppy display, as well as family-friendly activities.

A detailed schedule of events will be forthcoming.
