Just another boring Museum

I decided to take the kids to the Fort Douglas Museum this week. My Reserve unit was stationed there for 3 years, but I haven't gone to the Museum. We went inside and checked out all of the displays, including history of how the fort was established, and displays of soldiers life from the Civil War days to Present.

Bradley loved the guns and all the bullets.

Olivia wasn't as impressed. After looking at everything inside the building, we went outside and saw the really cool stuff. They had several artillery pieces including one from Germany that was brought back by US soldiers as a war trophy after WW2.


They had a Self Propelled Howitzer with a very large gun, several tanks including a Sherman from WW2.

They had a Huey Helicopter that had been in service since the Vietnam War where it had crashed twice. It was repaired each time and then went on to serve the Utah Air National Guard before being retired here. Bradley really liked the Cobra Attack Helicopter with the Rocket Pods on the sides.
