Army Heritage Trail


Day 19 - 33° - cloudy and cold - Spring Meadows Park
Day 18 - 34° - sunny, cold and windy - AHEC

Yesterday Molly and I walked along the Army Heritage Trail. The trail is about a mile and weaves through a series of exhibits and markers on various eras of the U.S. Army history.

The trail is part of a larger complex called USAHEC (United States Army Heritage and Education Center). This is the Army’s primary research facility in the country. It is being developed in stages. Right now there is Ridgway Hall that houses a research library and archival material for the Army. The reading room in the library is open to the public. A second building that opened recently is the Visitor center which houses a gallery, shop, café and meeting rooms. There are a couple of more phases in the works. You can visit the website for more information. http://www.armyheritage.org/

The center is about a 15 minute drive from the Red Cardinal B&B.
