Reviews of Rosie the Riveter National Historical Park
"A great historical park showcasing the Homefront's perspective of WWII and its impact to society. The volunteers and staff are dedicated and knowledgeable. It's little tucked away, but worth visiting if you're in the area. It's right on the water's edge with a good restaurant and ferry station next door. (There were a few exhibits under renovation, but other than that, a great free museum!)"
"The information presented was accurate and well put together, but the park itself felt like a token inclusion for women representation. It was hidden away in a confusing location. A nice visit to cross it off the junior ranger list, but I'm not sure I'd frequent this park as I do with many others."
"This is a fascinating slice of history, but I also found it depressing. The government needed thousands of workers, but so many were excluded. No women at the beginning, and when they were taken on, they were harassed. When the war was over, they were shoved back into the "feminine" role of housewife and mother. No blacks, Italians, Japanese, or jews to start until the government got desperate. And the sad thing is, I'm not sure sometimes how far we've come. The museum shows the growth of Richmond and the kaiser shipyards. There are lots of photos and a short film in the downstairs theater every 30 min or so. There are some models and items from the time. It's very, very well done and I think everyone should go. They have a couple of areas where they ask the visitor a thoughtful question, and you can write your answer on a slip of paper and pin it up. It's interesting to see what various people thought. Handicap accessible"
"Great little museum with so much history and information. I'm a Bay Area native and Navy Service member and didn't know there was so much history right here at home. I spent a few hours here with my nephew and he had a great time learning and completing his junior ranger activity book and got his first badge. The staff were so nice and knowledgeable; we couldn't have had a better experience."
