Exhibits

Make plans to attend this special museum that holds military history for our local Veterans, Civil War, WWI and WWII. With focus on the Paratrooper Infantry Regiment that trained at Camp Toccoa in the early 1940's. Over 17,000 men trained at the camp which included the 506th, 501st 511th, 511th, 517th and 295th Ordnance Heavy Maintenance Company. We are still researching other groups that were here during that time and after the last regiment left in 1944.
