I have found Facebook post about needs bring people together and donate the i
tems that you need (ie military uniforms), many families are cleaning out p
arents homes and do not know where to go with items. By listing what you are
looking for on Facebook and providing address, website locations, we have b
een successful with finding volunteers, donors, items for our museum.
I hope this helps!

um that we are rather proud of. We have artifacts from the Civil War, World W
ar I and II, Korea, Vietnam and the Mideast conflicts. We have displays feat
uring local men and women. We have been working on this for the last two yea
rs and just have a few items to complete. We have five mannequins with unifo
rms, 3 male, 2 female. I believe our mannequins were found over the years in
defunct clothing stores.

Any suggestions of a vendor to purchase military uniform mannequins and ot
her visually-pleasing (lighted and secure) display pieces for military memor
