This museum which was desired and created by the former resistance fighters of the Secret Army of the Loire and of the town of Estivareilles opened in 1984, 40 years after the war. The main exhibition theme of this museum is all about Estivareilles Fights during the Second World War, more precisely in August 1944 (these events made the origins of the site).
