Update: The Playground is NOT open to the public!


 Kudos to everyone involved in helping to make a dream come true.  Enjoy the photos!  

On the Wall of Honor in our Pennyroyal Area Museum there are 147 pictures of just some of the many from our area who have served in one or more branches of our armed forces. Many of the pictured veterans are still living while a good number are now deceased. Some were killed in action. Some were captured and served as prisoners of war for months on end in enemy lands. All proudly served their country.  Almost everyone will find at least someone on the wall with whom they know or knew at sometime. The museum is located on the corner of 9th and Liberty Streets and is opened 8:30 until 4:30 Monday through Friday and 10:00 until 3:00 on Saturdays.
