  • Some interesting artillery pieces from around the globe, dating back about 100 years. A couple pieces were missing, but it's interesting to see some of the more odd-ball designs that didn't make it past the prototype stage. If you want to kill 30 minutes on base, definitely worth a gander.
  • Interesting to see for a bit of military history. Some unique pieces that you don't see everywhere.
