The 12th Armored Division’s
Living History Group
Every second
Thursday of the month, during an event known as Art Walk, the 12th Armored
Division Living History Interpreters (12th LHI's) dress in WWII era uniforms
and give presentations on uniforms, weapons, and vehicles at the 12th Armor
Mermorial Museum. Our mission is to educate the public on the equipment used by
the 12th Armored Division during WWII, and to do so in an as accurate manner as
possible.

Our
roles are not set in stone, so we may switch “specialty” for a particular
artwalk or parade. Our presentations in the past have included heavy weapons,
small arms, uniforms, the M4 Sherman tank, and more. We have also participated
in many local parades. If you are interested learning more about how we conduct
our group please see our guidelines page or if you want to see some pictures, go to our pictures page.
