Monday nights Grand Opening and Reception for the Veterans Day and Camp Zachary Taylor Exhibit at the Library was a hugh hit. Thanks to all who were able to attend. There were lots of questions about the Camp, how big it was, were buildings stood and the one’s that are still standing.
The Super Size Panoramic Photograph (36″ x 200″) of the Flag Rasing Ceremony of July 4th, 1918 surprised everyone. Landmarks that are standing today are shown and described on the cooresponding map.
The World War Portion, along with the 1918 film on the sinking of Lusitania in 1915 is being shown along with a slide show of the 210 page, Official Photographic book at each end of the gallery.
I hope everyone enjoys the Exhibit, which runs through Dec 7th, and I thank you for visiting the Library to view it.

My wife and I visited the exhibit today (Dec. 6th), and were very impressed. Great job! We liked the fact that you included pictures of structures still in existence, so as to get a current perspective of where the camp was. Thanks!

What was the Depot Brig at Camp Taylor?

A Depot Brigade provides replacement men and equipment to other divisions when they are needed.
