A grand opening ceremony is planned for 11:00 am at its new location at 7881 Mississippi Ave. The 3,600-square-foot facility houses objects and historical artifacts relating to Fort Polk history, including uniforms, equipment, weapons, training aids and more to help visitors understand the role that Fort Polk has played in preparing the Army for war.
