DESCRIPTION:The Peña Adobe Historical Society welcomes Rosie the Riveter WWII Home 
 Front National Historical Park at the Peña Adobe Park in Vacaville, on 
 Saturday May 4, 2019 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The park is located at Peña 
 Adobe Road off Interstate 80, left of Lagoon Valley Regional Park’s 
 entrance.\n\nThe Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park 
 was established in Richmond, California in 2000 and tells the story of the 
 Kaiser Shipyards in Richmond which built ships during World War II where 
 six million women entered the workforce and became known as “Rosie the 
 Riveter”.  Her “We Can Do It” motto came to symbolize all women 
 workers.\n\nOn Saturday, May 4th, three “Rosies” will chat with 
 visitors at Peña Adobe about their stories.  Kay Morrison was a Journeyman 
 Welder from 1943-1945.  Marian Sousa was a Draftsman during 1943-1944 and 
 Marian Wynn was a Pipe Welder from 1944-1945.  All three “Rosies” left 
 their homes to find wartime work at the Kaiser Shipyards.\n\nThe Kaiser 
 Shipyards produced over 700 Liberty Ships.  The SS Jeremiah O’Brien is 
 one of the remaining ships launched during World War II.  Moored at Pier 
 45, Fisherman’s Wharf, she is a premier San Francisco attraction.  Larry 
 Serkanic from the SS Jeremiah O’Brien will join the “Rosies” to 
 answer questions and transport you back almost seven decades to when 
 sailors braved the harshest of high seas.\n\nIn addition to Larry and the 
 “Rosies” docents from The Aircraft Carrier Hornet Foundation will also 
 be available.  The foundation preserves and honors the legacy of the USS 
 Hornet, an aircraft carrier built for the United States Navy during World 
 War II.  The Hornet was decommissioned in 1970 and in 1998 opened to the 
 public as a museum in Alameda, California. \n\nCome meet the “Rosies”, 
 the docents of the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum, and the SS Jeremiah 
 O’Brien and learn how they connect the greatest generation of Americans 
 with future generations.\n\nPeña Adobe docents will be on hand to answer 
 questions and conduct tours of the Peña family home from 1842 until 1957.  
 This event is free! \n\n
