Normandy Visitor Center to be Closed Beginning February 4, 2019

Published January 23, 2019

The Normandy Visitor Center will be closed to the public beginning February 4, 2019 due to a total renovation of the exhibit space. It’s anticipated the visitor center will re-open in early June 2019. As part of the effort, a portion of the parking lot will be closed beginning in late November 2018 and lasting through the duration of the project. Restrooms will continue to be available onsite. Temporary restrooms will be in place beginning in January 2019. Despite the scheduled construction work, site staff will have a temporary facility to welcome visitors and next of kin.

The cemetery grounds will remain open, and the cemetery hours of operation will remain the same.

ABMC appreciates the public’s understanding as it relates to this closure. The agency is working to bring an excellent experience to future visitors.
