Revive the Relics Wine & Cheese Reception
~ Revive the Relics ~
Did you know, according to the museum director, Ernie Stevens, you would have to visit 100 museums to see the likes of the North Louisiana Military Museum's collection? What began as a meeting place for a few veterans, grew into one of the best displays in the state, if not America.
Displayed items have been purchased, donated, or are on loan. After searching for 21 years, Stevens found his now most prized artifact, a CR-39 French rifle. Also included is a display of items from "Ace Pilot" Commander Guy Borderline, a Ruston native and veteran of three wars. "An Ace is a pilot who has shot down five enemy planes and Borderline became the only Navy Ace and was also the only night Ace in the Korean War," Stevens said.
