As our country was celebrating Veterans’ Day, the Museum of Transportation wanted to express its gratitude for those who have served. I had the chance to go through the museum and find any sort of military connection that the exhibits may have. Then, I created a guided tour for anyone who came in on Saturday. Unfortunately, most people wanted to explore the museum on their own but that lead me to create a quick print out version of my tour and give it to visitors. It was upsetting at first to not feel like I succeeded in the tour but it allowed me to see that sometimes you have to improvise and its a learning process to see what people like more. I enjoyed being able to have my military research given to the public and briefly interact with visitors. The picture here is taken from the “thunder bird” used during the Roanoke Veterans’ Day parade. The parade ended at VMT to allow more people to visit.
