About this museum
Band of Brothers ground zero: the 101st Airborne lifted off from Upottery for Normandy, and this Nissen-hut museum in the old ablutions block covers D-Day with working-radio-level detail.
Thu–Sun, Easter–end Oct, donations. Same team as Dunkeswell — do both.
“What a wonderful little gem this is.”— Jo, visitor report
