What to see
A model paratrooper hangs from the church steeple, recalling John Steele, whose parachute caught on the tower during the night drop. Inside the church, stained-glass windows honour the paratroopers. The Airborne Museum on the square displays a Waco glider and a C-47 aircraft and tells the story of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions.
