Fort Sill's "Frontier Days" is such a wonderful event for the area. Visitors get to immerse themselves in the early history of the post. It is especially great to expose our youth to this part of our history. This year's event was no exception. So much to see and learn about. We were proud to be able to provide lunches to the 100 or so volunteers who helped put on the event. If you didn't get to attend, think about next year as a possible event for you or the family.

We had the honor of hosting our tremendous volunteers at an appreciation luncheon this week at the Lawton Country Club. A very small thanks for all they do. The Traders Store would not be possible without the gift of their time. For many of them, this is only one of their volunteer activities. What a blessing they are to Fort Sill and the community.

It's been a while since we have shared a sampling of the rich history of the Field Artillery that you can view in person at our Field Artillery Museum. In this video, Gordon highlights an important evolution of cannon artillery.

Earlier, we highlighted about the reopening of the Native American Galley at the Landmark this Saturday (June 13). Why not take in another event during your visit.

It's time for the monthly firing demo at the Field Artillery Museum. This week the staff will highlight the Revolutionary War muzzleloading cannon, complete with a live fire, and the weapons, uniforms and equipment of the Continental soldier. Come learn how the cannon, the am******on and its implements worked to help gain our freedom.

There will be three hourly demo's beginning at 10:00 AM. Each demo runs for about 15 minutes. Come see the "grasshopper" in action. It gained that nickname because they rountinely hopped when fired.

We are excited to announce the grand opening of the newly renovated Native American Galley at the National Historic Landmark. This gallery has always been one of the most popular and is now even better. This video should excite you for a visit.

The reopening will take place on Saturday, June 13th from 1100-1500. If you can't make that, it will be open on Thursdays and Fridays from 1000-1600. Start planning for visit now.

We thought it was time to give you another glimpse inside our museums and some of the great items you can see when you visit. School is out so it's a great time to visit.
