Sharing History with the World
Realizing the historical significance of their find, Lindsay and her family made the decision to convert most of the bunker into a museum. They moved out of the house, allowing visitors to experience this unique historical site. Even the escape tunnel, used by soldiers during the war, became a permanent part of the museum experience.
Now, the bunker stands proudly above the dunes and welcomes nearly one million visitors each year. Admission to the museum is free, allowing people from around the world to learn about the events that unfolded beneath ordinary homes during World War II.
Lindsay’s belief in the importance of understanding history has led to the preservation of this incredible site. As Lindsay herself put it, “As people, we can’t look to the future if we don’t dare to look at where we came from once in a while.”
