From KTVQ.com: World War I tour comes to Billings
BILLINGS- An exhibit honoring the heroes of World War One will be on display for one day only in downtown Billings.
A piece of the World War One Museum in Kansas City is embarking on a 75 city tour. Billings is one of only two Montana cites
"We feel very lucky to this exhibit here. This is a great opportunity for people to be able to see a piece of the WWI exhibit for Kansas City right here in Billings right here in Montana," said Julie Dial, Executive Director of the Western Heritage Center.
Inside you'll find tools, weapons, equipment, and artifacts which will give you an idea of what it was like to be in the trenches. These pieces of history are arranged in chronological order with little know facts, audio tracts, and videos.
The exhibit is handicapped accessible and is free of charge. Those attending are encouraged to make donations which will go toward the National WWI Museum in Kansas City and the Western Heritage Center in Billings.
The WWI display will be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday outside the Western Heritage Center on Montana Avenue.
