Featuring a stunning abstract monument by internationally
acclaimed sculptor Richard Hunt, the base will include
the names and hometowns of the 639 graduate captains
and lieutenants from 1917 and the first 436 WAAC officers
from 1942.
Museum development includes the rehabilitation of
20,000 square foot Clayton Hall (Top), the Chapel and
an Interpretive Master Plan creating a road map for
museum and park development.
In concert with the historic preservation work and
the Interpretive Master Plan, Clayton Hall will become
a military and historical museum with artifacts, archival
photographs, period art, library, interactive video/film
displays and a café. The construction and development
work also includes grounds beautification, and a reflecting
pool surrounded by the inscribed pavers and bricks of
the Walk Of Honor, Tank Alley and other outdoor exhibits.
An endowment fund for the perpetual operation of the
memorial park and additional programming and exhibit
development will reinforce generated revenue and insure
the park's long-term operation.
