Today we went on a field trip with the homeschool group to the Military Museum here in Sumter. Yes, you read that correctly, we have a military museum. I have to say I was rather impressed. It is put together by Sammy Way or Coach Way for those of us who graduated from Sumter High. He has a passion for history and is/was a fantastic teacher and coach. He also writes a column for The Item in the Panorama section that runs on Sundays. He has a fantastic collection of "stuff" from Sumter people who were involved in WWI, WWII, Vietnam, The Korean War, etc. It is located on Harvin St. at the Transportation center. He is open on Sunday afternoons from 2-4. If you have a minute, I suggest you stop by some time.
Dog tags from WWI.
This is so cool! Periscope from WWI.
The kids loved this, a 3D viewer.
Justin and Megan with the oldest uniform Mr. Way has in the museum. I think it is a WWI Glider uniform.
