USAHEC Revisited

Day 20 - 30° - cloudy, cold - AHEC and Municipal Park

Billy and I revisited USAHEC (US Army Heritage and Education Center). I was curious about the new visitor center and we decided to take a tour. The newly opened visitor center houses a store, café, meeting rooms and exhibit hall.

The website posted 2 exhibits on the Civil War and 1 on General Omar Bradley that were currently on display. We viewed the 3 exhibits and found them informative. One of the Civil War exhibits was a combination of letters and photographs from a union soldier, which gives the war a personal connection.

Afterwards, we spoke with the some of the staff who were very enthusiastic about the programs that are offered at AHEC. There is a monthly lecture series on some aspect of the military and when the warmer weather comes, living history weekends and demonstrations are scheduled on the Heritage trail. A full line up of events can be found on the website. http://www.armyheritage.org/

Billy and I were impressed that such a facility is located a few miles from the Red Cardinal B&B.

I finished the day taking a brisk walk with Molly.
