| | Eldred World War II Museum Press Release (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | During World War II, Eldred, a town of 868 on the New York-Pennsylvania border 80 miles south of Buffalo, was home to the National Munitions Company, a defense plant employing more than 1500 workers. |
 | | Drawing its work force - 95% of them women, - from Eldred and Bradford, Pennsylvania, as well as Olean, New York, and surrounding communities, the plant began manufacturing mortar shells for the British Army and bomb fuses for the RAF in 1941, before the United States Army entered the war. |
 | | The Eldred WWII Museum is the brain-child of sponsor Tim Roudebush, a Lenexa, Kansas, entrepreneur who is the son of George Roudebush, a Cleveland attorney who was instrumental in establishing the National Munitions Plant in Eldred. |
