THE MEETING HOUSE MUSEUM
696 E. DE KALB RD These maneuvers involved the entire First Army of the United State and was one of the few times in history that our area was in the national spotlight. Trains unloaded at various deports with the largest number of soldiers, 17,000, detraining at De Kalb Junction. Camps were set-up, battles were staged and tourist brochures were printed. The fields of local farmers were the sight of scrimmages, and businesses worked to provide for the number of visitors. Thompson will bring the event to life for the audience. |
