The creator of the museum, Ron McVaney, is a Vietnam vet, and started the museum to honor the memories of friends who died in Vietnam. He and his wife Barbara have created an incredible resource for vets of all wars. I am sure many changes have been made since we last visited--it was pretty amazing even then. You can see my photos from that visit here.
The museum is housed in what was once the "colored school" back in the days of segregation.
We will have to try again. Currently the museum is open only on Saturdays, but they will try to accommodate visitors who call ahead to schedule a visit.
This is a work of love, and it really shows. Well worth taking the time to visit.

Did you ever answer my question, in your comments, about where you got your wonderful not-real candles? I don't come back to re-read comments, so if you did, I missed it.
ReplyDeleteMy email addy is on my profile page. Would you please tell me, in an email?
I never saw such wonderful "fake" candles! The one I have is a bust. Never got another. But I'd love to have some, on our mantle. It's an old beam from a barn, and was placed there, 50 years ago. On the whole wall of brick. -smile- Candles would go there, so well!!!!
Please and thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
