Exhibit Specialist Martin Matin ensures process measurements are taken and panels are properly leveled for the Fort Huachuca Museum’s new displays. The exhibits will focus on the history of Southeast Arizona leading to the founding of Fort Huachuca. Renovation of the museum’s main gallery began on May 7, with new displays and a gallery set to open later this summer.

 
Visitors are offered a sneak peek of the museum’s future exhibit. An easel in the main gallery featuring photos of the new display panels gives visitors a look at what is coming soon.
