CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. (AP) - A museum chronicling the history of the base where Indiana National Guard and other military units from across the country have trained has completed renovations and is opening to the public.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was scheduled for Friday at the Camp Atterbury Museum in the newly restored welcome center of the base about 30 miles south of Indianapolis.
Camp Atterbury says the museum features displays spanning 70 years of base history and artifacts from early farm communities in the area before the land became a military installation.
More than 70,000 service members for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have trained there since it became a mobilization site in 2003. It's currently receiving more than $75 million in improvements including three new barracks.
