Donut Dollies reenactment at Aviation Heritage Park with wartime snacks during Duncan Hines Days

Step into history during Duncan Hines Days with A Touch of Home for the Troops, a special living history experience honoring the American Red Cross “Donut Dollies.” Enjoy wartime treats, learn their story, and experience the simple comforts that lifted the spirits of American servicemen.

During World War II and the Vietnam War, American Red Cross volunteers known as the Donut Dollies served near the front lines and on military bases, offering troops a much-needed connection to home. Through coffee, donuts, conversation, and kindness, they brought moments of comfort and morale to those serving far from home.

At Aviation Heritage Park & Museum, visitors can experience this history firsthand with tastings of wartime-inspired treats, including “war cake” and classic donuts.

This event takes place at the Museum on Three Springs Road in Bowling Green, KY located next to the Pickleball Palooza courts during Duncan Hines Days. , creating a lively and welcoming community atmosphere.

Stop by anytime between 10 AM and 2 PM—no registration required.
