The American Rosie the Riveter Association – Fort Worth Chapter, The Vintage Flying Museum and the Fort Worth Rose Society will be unveiling a new Rosie the Riveter Mural in the Rosie Memorial Rose Garden at Vintage Flying Museum. The Rose Memorial Rose Garden was created in 2019 to honor the Rosie of North Texas. Haltom City Mayor Dr. Troung and Fort Worth Council Member Carlos Flores will be the guest speakers joining local Rosie Families as we unveil our Rosie the Riveter mural.

The Rosie the Riveter Memorial Rose Garden at Vintage Flying Museum is a collaborative effort between the American the Riveter Association Fort Worth Chapter, Vintage Flying Museum and the Fort Worth Rose Society. The Memorial Garden was created to honor and recognize the all women who served our country as Rosie the Riveters but especially those who served in North Texas.
The Vintage Flying Museum is a unique “working” museum where visitors are able to see what it takes to “Keep ‘em Flying”
