a program called "Preserving the Memories". This program will give the student insights into technology, culture, historical
events, economics, political systems, social duties, patriotism, and citizenship through exhibits of international military
artifacts dating from 1509 to present.
A one to two hour quided tour will cover the technologies and economics of different time periods and nations, and will allow
the students to see first hand how the forces of conflict caused major advances in both these areas.
During the guided tour the students will be able to complete the International Military History Artifact (scavenger) Hunt.
