Two hundred and fifty years of Pennsylvania military history are condensed into this twelve-minute movie. From the Colonial Period to Operation Iraqi Freedom, the class will understand the importance of Pennsylvanians in the armed services. The exhibit, ADVANCE: The Tactics and Logistics of Warfare, shows the development, organization, and function of the armed services in the 20th century. As technology improved, tactics on the battlefield evolved as well. Discover why a tank is called a “tank” and how evacuating a patient off the battlefield changed so drastically in less than 50 years. (Approximate time allotted, 1 hour. Maximum comfortable attendance, 25-35 students.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1612985540296-YO6VQUZF1UU9SXTR5NCR/School+Tour+2.jpg School Tours - Shrine Tour Prepare the students for a ¼-mile walk amidst the monuments of the Pennsylvania National Guard’s 28th Infantry Division Shrine. Learn about the Boal Troop, the Guard’s first horse-mounted machine gun cavalry unit that trained on these very same grounds, and the history of the division as it fought in two World Wars. Discover the relationship between Boalsburg, the shrine, and the museum, and how the convergence of the Purple Heart Highway and the 28th Division Highway became the home of Pennsylvania’s 20th-century military history.

Students will learn about the development, function, and design of armored vehicles as a means of protecting the troops and influencing the battlefield. Guides will interpret many physical characteristics of the vehicles for a unique educational experience. (Approximate time allotted, 1 hour.

The visiting school is divided into three platoons, squads, or fire-teams and issued “orders” to answer a list of 12 questions based on the exhibit labels. What makes the mission interesting is that only one set of questions are issued to each group and pencils or pens are not authorized for use. The class is then mustered together as a whole at the end of the exercise for a “debriefing." RECON Missions exist for the museum exhibits, the 28th Infantry Division Shrine, and the armored vehicles on the grounds. This exercise fosters leadership and encourages teamwork. RECON Missions need to be coordinated through the office of the Museum Educator with three-week advance notice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1612987126673-SZK6X14GOIA6F5U2H3VT/inschoolmuseum.jpg School Tours https://www.pamilmuseum.org/visit daily 0.75 2024-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1661971216800-MR8WA8OETA6WIX7AGPBW/2021-bsm_horizontal-logo.png Visit - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1612982423830-3N7QJ24MQNW66V37ZG9L/_DJG5124.JPG Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1612903692779-WVV8RHJ1OCPOPF4LNIK3/AACA+Car+Show.JPG Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1612982560205-DL60RGQAT4D6IQOJJOJR/Screen+Shot+2021-02-10+at+1.41.42+PM.png Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1612903752567-I0C5576YLZN1T5KQ8RMP/fire.jpg Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1612982953959-P3YGQOG86W33D0XUT3YU/Collections.JPG Visit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1612981839214-23OKP2TDGID61ON3UI7N/WWII+Girls+in+Jeep.jpg Visit https://www.pamilmuseum.org/hours daily 0.75 2025-01-17 https://www.pamilmuseum.org/permanent-exhibits daily 0.75 2021-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613501259241-SL0JKJG8C3U7Z9H38I4S/trench.JPG Permanent Exhibits Photo of gallery, Trench Warfare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613501280475-LC1I86R570D4BKO0CDLC/Navy+Room.JPG Permanent Exhibits Photo of gallery, Sea Power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613501302429-NDG752TBYLUJ1ICL3P15/logistics.JPG Permanent Exhibits Photo of gallery, Logistics entrance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613501326267-OAHCQH0AXL49BO9YMAYT/exit.JPG Permanent Exhibits Photo of gallery, exit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613501497972-XIAHUIVNPMDWGACQHHRC/IMG_1384.jpg Permanent Exhibits Photo of M60A3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613501434064-RYE3D3AM42ZSXVCXKNP6/APC+Front.jpg Permanent Exhibits Photo of Armored Personnel Carrier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613501465883-CJGDYO8D7536E7ML8G61/Duster+left.jpg Permanent Exhibits Photo of Vietnam era Duster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613502030265-FKVSKDRE6BU5FP6509PI/pic3%281%29.jpg Permanent Exhibits Photo of 155mm howitzer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613501534016-XD0N15ZXCH3VFALAS8G2/M4+Sherman.jpg Permanent Exhibits Photo of M4 Sherman. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6022b2109a0cdd54b1bbface/1613502107680-GDGYTASW2X8SY54K3S3S/Scrapbooker+Pennsy+Guns+003.jpg Permanent Exhibits Photo of USS Penn.
