When the officers of the 28th Infantry Division returned from Europe after World War I, they began holding reunions and dedicating shrines here on the original training grounds of Col. Theodore Boal's mounted machine gun troop. By the 1950s, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission operated the site. Now, generations after its incarnation as a modest WWI memorial, the 28th Infantry Division Shrine has blossomed as thousands of Division veterans have joined the ranks of their forebears. There are currently 29 monuments honoring the fallen spanning the time period of 1920 to 2016. The Pennsylvania Military Museum is owned and operated by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
