    - Acquire
    - Display
    - Preserve
    - Generate knowledge

    As you say, it would be more of a living history center. I've been to the USMC Museum in Virginia, and they have a living history section where you board a Higgins Boat and the ocean is projected around you.
    Thats what I meant. My goal is to have a place where people can have a visual and physical experience of what it was like for soldiers on the front, with reenactors, etc.

    This sounds like an awesome Idea, If I knew more about world war 1 I would definitely volunteer. I'm starting a personal collection of war memorabilia so thats right up my alley. Please keep us updated and if it ever opens I'll be one of the first people to come check it out!
