Mark Knoblauch: Back in 1975, we were students at Augustana College. We rented this very house for our upcoming Junior year. Just this past weekend, three of us visited this milestone house that we once lived in.
Victoria1775: This is a military base so you have to register at the MP check in building, I didnt know that but it didnt take long to do & honestly they cant just let anyone just drive in so I understand that. We stopped at the Atomic Cannon & the other artillery pieces. I was so excited to stand by a Sherman Tank there of the 4th division in the Battle of the Bulge the very same tank, division & battle my grandpa was in, when I was little I remember him telling me stories of how driving a tank was easier than driving a car & of his first tank being hit & destroyed he & his company made it out alive,they were assigned to a new tank, he was only 18 years old then
Jenny VanDeWalker: Beautiful place to go hiking. We had a picnic on Mothers day and we chose the lower picnic area. The tables werent in the best shape. The only one available was broken in several spots. But the view was nice.
Susie Dalton: Beautiful setting right off Springfield Lake. Plenty of trail under dappled sunshine.. we saw Carp spawning in the grassy part of the lake. Also enjoyed watching a deer, eating tree leaves and grasses. There were also squirrels. Huge trees lined the pathway. One tree was estimated to be there since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Alas three is dead but still standing, towering over the younger trees. Can you imagine all the stories the old timer could tell?
Casey Prather: This museum surprised me!! Wonderful exhibits and very friendly staff. The gift shop was great with all kinds of treasures for the young and old!! And best of all, admission is FREE!!
