We recently discovered an interesting traveling museum called "Held in the Heartland: German POWs in the Midwest 1943-46."

The tour is a part of a traveling exhibit program by TRACES. According to their site:

TRACES is a non-profit educational organization created to gather, preserve and present stories of people from the Midwest and Germany or Austria who encountered each other during World War II.

TRACES converted a 40-foot school bus into a mobile classroom and museum. On the bus:

The exhibit consists of 15 narrative display panels illustrated with photographs and documents, audio and DVD documentaries, artifacts and more.

The tour began in 2009.
