The Ernie Pyle World War II Museum, located in Dana, Indiana, is a historic site dedicated to preserving the legacy of American hero and Pulitzer Prize winner, Ernie Pyle. The museum showcases Pyle's life and writings as a war correspondent during World War II, and features his birthplace as well as a collection of artifacts. Owned and operated by the Friends of Ernie Pyle, a nonprofit organization, the museum aims to honor Pyle's contributions and educate visitors about the impact of war.
The museum's mission is to advance Pyle's legacy not only in Dana, but also throughout Indiana and the nation. Pyle, a native of Dana, was born in 1900 and went on to become a renowned journalist. He maintained a strong connection to his family and hometown, even while reporting from the front lines of the war. Tragically, Pyle was killed in action in 1945 at the age of 44. Through its exhibits and programs, the Ernie Pyle World War II Museum seeks to commemorate his life and the sacrifices made by those who served during the war.
