There seemed to be a community event that was wrapping up when I got there. Once you step foot on the street, start looking EVERYWHERE. You will discover things high and low and in between things. I enjoyed that local artisans can showcase their creations in such a unique way for all to see. Let's delve in to some favorites of mine. The mini Tesla charging up with Red Bull. The mini sloth on the wire. Fish in the bowl on pipes. I REALLY liked the leave one, take one concept. There is a box that opens where you will find Lego minifigs. You can bring your own and swap it out for a new one to take home with you. We spent about 45 minutes here going "hey look over here", "look further down", and "wow what a genius thought" to come up with some of these art pieces.

It flows like the actual timeline, beginning from before the Revolutionary War to current day, and actually highlights local Veterans, as close to their voice as possible, AND points out women who broke barriers, to include dressing as a man to participate in the Civil War.

This time was no different when in Hattiesburg, visiting the African American (AA) Military Museum. This museum showcased the many contributions throughout military history by AA. One of my favorite displays was about Ruth Bailey Earl, one of Hattiesburg's native daughters. An accomplished nurse who served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps, as well as Cleveland Medical Center and Forrest General Hospital. The building is a decommissioned USO turned museum. What an inspiration and wealth of information learned from the Magnolia state. Moreover, I felt proud to witness the significant beneficence of many local and national AA in uniformed service. I thoroughly enjoyed each fact, photo, audio and relics showcased in all of the displays throughout the museum. It was evident that many families contributed cherished mementos to have this museum tell a story of patriotism. I would highly recommend a visit to this museum as it holds a piece of history that is important, impressive and honors those who did and did not always get their flowers when they gave selflessly of themselves while defending the country.
