We pulled into Jackson Springs, NC, which was fairly close to Fort Bragg. There was a lot a different military museums in the area so we picked the one we thought would be the most interesting. It was the Airborne and Special Operations museum. What a surprise to us! It was so fabulous. The displays were often life-size and had people in them as well as actual planes, tanks, jeeps, and much more.

In front of the museum they had memorials to the different special ops teams from the beginning of these squads to now. It was a beautiful building with more memorials and honorariums in the bricks and cement in front of the museum. The statue in front was so lifelike. We really enjoyed this museum.

You walked through the museum in chronological order started with the World Wars. We walked in and there was a soldier (not real) in full gear right in front of you. Then a jeep and motorcycle. Pictures about the invasion were there along with the history of how special ops teams began. Then you walked through all the different battles and then on to the next conflict. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed the museum.

Next stop is Lenoir, NC. See you soon
