For the
TIME TRAVELERS

open the time capsule that is Columbus.

Museum and Soldier Center to trace the
footsteps of the Infantryman from Colonial
days to the sands of the Persian Gulf, and
to the National Civil War Naval Museum at
Port Columbus to learn stories you’ll hear
nowhere else – of sailors, marines, sailing
ships, and history-changing battles of the Historic Westville
Civil War.
