Time to pause, honor and celebrate
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
So you missed the annual Atlanta Veterans Day Parade as well as Tuesday’s ceremony at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center.
No worries.
In Gwinnett, we have a permanent facility that pays homage to veterans. It’s the Gwinnett Veterans Memorial Musuem, located on the first floor of the Historic Courthouse in downtown Lawrenceville.
The museum, maintained and operated by local veterans, has replicas, memorabilia, military records and uniforms from all branches of services. You’ll also learn the personal stories of some of the local servicemen and women.
The museum chronicles wars from the Civil War to present. It’s a must-see educational center, it’s free and there’s bound to be a veteran or two on hand to guide visitors through the display rooms.
So check it out.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday - Friday; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
