Currahee Military Museum is located in historic downtown Toccoa's restored train depot. It is home to the WWII history of approximately 18,000 soldiers that trained at Camp Toccoa to become paratroopers. Located in the museum is a horse stable, built in Aldbourne, England in 1922 that served as housing for Able and Easy Companies of the 506th PIR prior to and after D-Day 1944. History of 501st, 506th, 511th and 517th Paratrooper Infantry Regiments is on display for visitors seven days a week.
The last time we visited Andersonville was in 2014, a year before Jim's Mom died. His father died in 1985 and is buried there, and when his Mom died, she was buried there with him. Also, the POW Museum was not there, so this visit we were able to go through the museum, take pictures and read about the prisoners of war.
The Museum of Aviation consists of four big buildings; the main building hosts a history of World War II with bits of information about other wars. The other buildings house airplanes. The museum is dedicated to preserving the heritage of Robins Air Force Base, the land on which it was born and the people who shaped its events.
