World War II Connellsville Canteen

From 1944 until 1946, about 800 women of all ages met 600,000 troops who passed through the B&O Railroad station. From offices here, volunteers furnished food and drink 24 hours a day and chauffeured personnel to their homes.

Marker is at the intersection of Water Street and West Peach Street on Water Street.
