Who We Are

Echoes through Time" (ETT) is involved in a variety of educational studies; demonstrating and interpreting periods in our American military history. At our current main location we specialize in the War between the States, better known as our American Civil War era.

We provide a wide variety of educational / historical programs, covering most any subject / topic of the antebellum years. We also have available a number of local / regional tours, and provide a battlefield tour guide service.

We like to think of our personal services as truly unique teaching tools for guests, visitors and educators. We especially aide the educators who use our Learning Center, providing that special visual aide or tool to help their students learn and understand topics of interest. As for the various organizations, churches, tour groups and the general public who visit us, we do our very best to help them understand the history, concepts and facts to appreciate what our American military have experienced and accomplished through the years in our nations proud history.

ETT brings to life, those text book tactics that you only read about… and for those items on display to life. Most every item in our exhibit has a story to tell. Our variety of weapons, equipment and uniforms that are on exhibit will help our visitors understand the time period better, and explain many of the hardships the soldiers of both sides faced, with the technology that was used in the period of history.

If you are a educator, our goal is to assist you, in helping your students to understand the Civil War era.

For most of our other visitor & guest, you will experience history in a way it is seldom experienced; in a museum or classroom setting.

We try to give our visitors & guest all our personal attention. As we talk about our exhibit, showing how the displayed equipment and weapons that were actually used – and not how it is often seen/ portrayed on TV or in Hollywood movies. Having the resources available to actually: feel, touch or hold – many of which are original items, or reproduction items – which we use to help make history come alive!

OUR STAFF

Our Learning Center is staffed by educated and knowledgeable “Living Historians”, providing in-depth conversation of stories, facts and histories regarding our exhibit and collection. Many of our Living historians are educated in specialized areas, covering a wide range of topics.

	Our Living Historians are usually in period uniform or dress and can answer, demonstrate or discuss most any topic of discussion.
	You will find our staff to be professional, polite and knowledgeable and will be very involved in helping our guests and visitors understand the historical periods we present and demonstrate.
	We take great pride in having the right personnel to deal with the general public in a manor that is caring, respectful and dedicated.
	When our staff is on historical tours, they are usually in period dress or uniform, giving our programs that extra touch, as we try to take our guest “back into time” as we experience history together.
	Many of our Civil War staff are also members of the Sons of Unions & Confederate Veterans, and are Civil War reenactors and members of our local Civil War Round Tables. This service is what we call our “hands on” history experience.
