Fort Campbell's artifacts will eventually be moved to the Wings of Liberty museum being built near U.S. Highway
41A North and Tiny Town Road. The Wings of Liberty Museum is scheduled to open in 2007-08. The 80,000-
square-foot new museum will be built in phases with numerous aviation and military aircraft and vehicle exhibits
to be added depicting the storied history. The facility will be interactive and put visitors "in the action" of
yesterday and today's battles in addition to having a 200-seat IMAX-style theater, a snack bar and a gift shop.
