U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum and U.S. Army Women's Museum
Friday, May 21 - 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

The Cool Spring Travelers visited the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum at Fort Lee. Since 1775, Quartermasters have provided logistical support to the Army. Their stories are told in eleven exhibit galleries that also contain such important artifacts as the Nation's first 50 star flag, General George Patton's World War II jeep, General Eisenhower's field quarters, and General Grant's saddle.

The Amphibious vehicles shown here were used to go from the ships to the beaches.  (Like those used on D-Day to bring troops ashore and supplies ashore).  One picture is of the kitchen area and the examples of the food services over the years.

After a box lunch in the picnic area, we proceeded to the U.S. Army Women's Museum where stories of women's contributions to the Army are told through exhibits from Bunker Hill to a bunker in Iraq.
