The War Historical Association
of Western Uusimaa

 

Mission

The main purpose of the War Historical Association of Western Uusimaa is to preserve and maintain the memory of events of military history in the region of West Uusimaa. The main focus is on events on the Hanko Front in 1939 –1941. The association seeks to maintain an active and popular up-to-date museum that applies modern technology. With our work we want to reach out to the young generation and also tourists from both Finland and abroad. The association is a joint organisation for the war veterans’ associations of Hanko, the Tammisaari region, Snappertuna and Karjaa.
