| DEADMAN"S CORNER MUSEUM - All Airborne, All The Way. Part of the Carentan Historical Center, this museum has one of the best presentations of US Airborne artifacts in all of Normandy. Most of the collection belongs to long time Airborne historian and author, Michel de Trez. The displays are very well done, very accurate, and all original artifacts, many of them named to the original veteran owner.

They have lots on display including large items like a C-47, a Sherman Tank, a glider, and much much more. Located on the former spot of the house that was burning on D-Day night at the paratroopers dropped in, this is a must see when in the area.
