A popular speaker, Dr. Merle “Boo” Hodges returns to the Museum to bring us up to date on one of his first presentations. With new information and new images, Dr. Hodges will guide us as we revisit Camp Phillips. The camp was born of necessity, used to train soldiers for war, then taken apart. While it was open for a relatively short time, its legacy lives on. Explore the men, the mission and the memory of Camp Phillips, with Dr. Hodges, an area physician and historian.
