Camp Phillips: Revisited

Thursday, February 6, 2025
5:30 pm6:30 pm

Enjoy this free presentation in person at the Museum, or from the comfort of your own home via Zoom. Register for your Zoom link here.

A popular speaker, Dr. Merle “Boo” Hodges returns to the Museum to bring us up to date on one of his first presentations. With new information and new images, Dr. Hodges will guide us as we revisit Camp Phillips. The camp was born of necessity, used to train soldiers for war, then taken apart. While it was open for a relatively short time, its legacy lives on. Explore the men, the mission and the memory of Camp Phillips, with Dr. Hodges, an area physician and historian.

Our Impact This Year

  • Allison K.

    A great museum for the whole family! We were traveling from the kc area to Colorado and had to stop due to the interstate being closed. We saw the museum was open and were able to spend about 3 hours there walking around the museum. We have three kids, ages 2, 5, 7 who asked if we could go to it again on the way home. Thanks for allowing us to spend a good chunk of our day there! We will be back!
