Dr. Lydia Herndon is an educator who adds a Georgia Board of Regents' credentialed "educational component" to the Museum. She has worked extensively in the "Character Education" field and has written several self published works.

She further provides training, speaking, and educational material to support a teacher in teaching their history, and American democratic and patriotic values components. She has taught in the classroom and a teacher educator at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Teachers can earn Continuing Education Units (CEU's)

WHAT "The Traveling Museum is a "chopped" WWII C-47 airplane which had been flown into the Peachtree Dekalb Charlie Brown Airfield in Georgia many years ago and left there to deteriorate as a "prop" for the 57th Squadron Restaurant. (See Pictures) Since then, it has been restored to static display condition, placed on a mobile house trailer frame, repainted with WWII invasion stripes and markings and the cockpit, and cargo bay is filled with original (walk-through) historical displays. A child or adult can walk through the entire airplane, and see original D-Day Artifacts, and sit in the co-pilot seat, hear recorded pilot and combat sounds, and "fly the plane" with the movable "steering yoke." This beautiful and historical museum can be brought to your site or event for display.
     "Report after report has stated that American students are not being taught AMERICAN HISTORY or CIVICS as in the past. It has been reported that they have very little knowledge or interest in this vital subject.  .
     The D-Day Traveling Museum and The American Values Traveling Museum is a very unique interactive venue to teach students as an "onsite field trip" which can be driven to a school district where many schools can experience the museum, or driven to a particular school as an onsite field trip. (See pictures) The museum is presently set up to depict D-Day and the Values of WWII, but if needed, the Values of the Revolutionary War can also be depicted This can correspond with a teacher's current academic and character development curriculum. It also goes hand in hand with the "Presidential No Child Left Behind Curriculum."
     The beautiful and impressive "chopped C-47" aircraft is on a house trailer frame and can be towed to any location for as long as two to three days. This historical aircraft has had many names throughout American history. It was first named the DC-3 which was the main airplane used in the American Airline Industry and then came WWII. The planes were quickly impressed into service and renamed "C-47 / Gooney Bird / Dekota / Skytrain / Puff The Magic Dragon." This historic plane saved many a soldier's lives in the medical field and re-supplied soldiers all over the world. It further dropped Paratroopers at Normandy, Holland and drop zones throughout the war. They further pulled Gliders and Glidermen into combat in all the major battles of Europe during WWII.
     They continued their faithful service into the Korean War, the Berlin Airlift and in Vietnam as (Puff The Magic Dragon). These American workhorses are still flying throughout the world today. "Rosie the Riveter" put over 900,000 rivets into each airplane. Each rivet placement involved two American workers usually Women.

WHEN This Museum can be brought to your special event whether it be a parade, civic, or school, or Church event. It can further be used for re-enactor, collector or historical town or city events. PLEASE BOOK EARLY (770-719-2365) or Email Khern2365@aol.com.
     We are getting bookings a year in advance. The Spring and Fall are the best times due to the weather, however winter and summer will work. The plane has an air conditioner and has been shown in the summer however it will always be 15-20 degrees warmer inside due to the Olive Drab color which draws heat.

WHERE The Museum is a Traveling Museum pulled by a Ford F-350 Dually Pickup truck. It can be taken to most any location but the preferred area of our operation is within the South East due to distance. The Museum is located in the Atlanta, Georgia area. If areas out of the south east are needed, special arrangements can be made.

HOW: Contact Dr. Knox, Or Dr. Lydia Herndon, at 770-719-2365 (home) or (cell) 678-665-3623 or email Khern2365@aol.com. When we come to your location, we will need two 110 Volt outlets to run the Museum lights and the air conditioner.

COST
PHASE I
D-Day Traveling Museum (C-47 Airplane Only) $500. a day with (Age Appropiate Teaching Tent if Needed).
PHASE TWO involves two other very historical vehicles WHICH WE CAN BRING TO YOUR EVENT!!
For those over forty, you might remember the weekly TV Show on black and white TV, "RAT PATROL." These were the WWII "DESERT RATS" which used heavily armed American "Gun Jeeps" that reeked havoc as they raided German Airfields and Supply Depots to shorten the war in North Africa from 1941-1943. We also have a WWII German BMW MOTORCYCLE WITH SIDECAR. BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES can be brought to your event for "rides into history." (SEE PHOTOS) Both have proven very popular with "children of all ages !"

PHASE THREE $500: See Photo Page 11
 We can bring to your event a very wonderful British Armored Scout Car called the "FERRET." The Ferret is a post war 41/2  ton vehicle with a 6 Cyl. Rolls Royce Engine. The Ferret is currently used by over 30 countries. It was last  used by the British Forces in Dessert Storm. It has a rotating turret for a machine gun and is painted in the Urban Camo found only in the Berlin Brigade. This particular historical vehicle was used to patrol the Berlin Wall before the people, yearning to be free, tore it down.

We have three pricing packages. If we just bring the D-Day Traveling Museum C-47 plane, we can come for $500.00 a day with hotel expenses of needed. If you want the D-Day Museum AND the two vehicles for "rides" we can come for $1,000. a day. The reason for the increase is that I must hire drivers for the vehicles and bring another tow vehicle with trailer.
If you want the whole enchilada, involving the C-47 Plane, the two Rat Patrol Vehicles, and the wonderful British armored scout car, it is $1,500.If your organization cannot afford the $500. or the $1000., then we can come free of charge but will charge for the rides and the museum. The Museum is $1.00 per person and each Vehicle Ride is $3.00 per person. This venue however, must have 500 people or more to make our expenses.
