DISPLAYS
The role of the military in our communities is an important part of our heritage. The service of our men and women in uniform is an exemplar of the values and ethos of our country.
The purpose of the display areas is to educate the public on our rich and interesting military history and showcase the contribution of our local people who have served.
MUSEUM DISPLAY
Exhibits have been sourced from the NB Museum in Saint John, Military Museum in Gagetown and the 8th Hussars Museum in Sussex. Other displays from regional veterans organizations will also be shown.
MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE DISPLAY
SPONSORED BY TOYS FOR BIG BOYS
Our team of vehicle restoration experts have sourced military vehicles and equipment from around our region to be on display. With the cooperation of the Canadian Forces, we also expect to display modern equipment used in present-day campaigns.
