The City of St. Joseph Parks, Recreation and Civic Facilities Department will unveil temporary military history displays at the Remington Nature Center this weekend.

According to Remington Nature Center Manager Andrea McCoy, the displays feature over 200 artifacts from World War I, World War II, and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

“These are very unique artifacts there to preserve the history of these people that fought for our freedom,” McCoy said. “We’re very proud of the display… it’s an impressive collection and we’re just so thrilled to have it.”

McCoy said all the artifacts are on private loan from an anonymous individual.

All active, reserve, and retired military as well as all police, fire, medical, and emergency personnel will be free of charge including one additional guest of their choice on Saturday, November 11, with a badge or ID.

The displays will be unveiled Saturday and will be available to view from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The display will be available to view through January 31st, 2018.
