We've driven by the Fort Riley Military post many times and decided it was time the see the museums and explore the history.
 |
| This is the Calvary museum. It is constructed on limestone as are most buildings on the base |
 |
| This monument is in honor of the millions of horses who served the U.S.Calvary. The last horse to serve in the Army is buried nearby |
 |
| A variety of vehicles that replaced the horse are on display nearby |
 |
| One display coverd the history of saddles for the calvary |
 |
| Another museum is the Infantry museum for :The Big Red One" Division based at Fort Riley KS |
 |
| Exhibits included how the soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Buldge camouflaged their uniform with white bed sheets. |
 |
| The current tactics of todays military where shown |
 |

| Viet Nam history was included |
Looks like a nice museum. I would have never thought Fort Riley had museums.
