Curator, Bobby Kotlowski, added: 鈥淚ncredibly hard-working and knowledgeable volunteers have spent two months preparing new displays, refreshing current exhibits, and cleaning and prepping all spaces for the much-anticipated 2026 opening. I especially want to thank Greg Ehr, Ray Pavlik, Jim Schenfield, and Mike Johnson.鈥
Visitors will experience a trip through history as they admire our new acquisitions (photos below each bullet):
鈥 New D-Day exhibit, which includes four helmets and part of a parachute found in France close to where the Normandy invasion occurred;
鈥 Artifacts from various submarines and two impressive models of modern submarines and a WWII sub;
鈥 Telegraph from a British warship;
鈥 Additions to the Air Force exhibit, such as artifacts from a B-17 aircraft which includes the auto pilot designed and built by Honeywell;
鈥 Ship鈥檚 bell from the quarter deck of the USS Essex, which was the lead ship of the Essex-class aircraft carriers and played a significant role in WWII and later in the Korean War. (not pictured)
Also new in our galleries are attractively displayed biographies with photos of veterans from each conflict from WWI through the Global War on Terror. These bios are especially significant because they reflect the lives and service histories of individuals directly related to Transylvania County.
Posters were designed by board member Greg Ehr.
So join us on Tuesday, March 3, 2026 as we open our doors and proudly embrace our mission to honor veterans and their stories, educate the community, and preserve important historical artifacts.
