We are excited to announce that the military display has been re-opened to the public! This has been a special project taken on by Amy Fontenot, our Assistant Director. Amy served in the Army and Army Reserves so it was very important to her to make this exhibit as correct as possible. She spent countless hours researching and identifying our artifacts and cataloging them correctly in our system. Amy isn’t completely finished with the display but will tweak it as time allows.
The military display was moved to the ground floor in the Annex and includes artifacts from the Civil and Spanish Wars, World Wars I and II, Korean War and Vietnam War. Uniforms, Calvary saddles and bits, hard tack, mess kits, souvenirs brought from overseas, German artifacts, photographs and more fill the display cases. We invite you to come see all the wonderful artifacts that were so generously donated. We would also like to thank Rose Eatinger White for her generous donation and the families of Harold Williams, Earl Kleeman and Richard Landon for designating memorials to the museum which helped to fund the improvements.
Our veterans deserve nothing less than the best, and Amy has honored them both respectfully and beautifully.
