Turning a Spade of Dirt

Site of future home of MPHC to see construction activity in 2009
This summer the 4th Infantry Division
returns from Ft. Hood, Texas to the
Mountain Post after a fourteen year
absence. The 4th Infantry Division has a storied history and legacy. Just
as capturing the entire history of the
Mountain Post from 1942 to present day
is important, so is the preservation of the
legacy of the 4th ID. Relocation of the
4th ID brings with it up to $750,000 in
approved monies to construct a 5,000 square foot facility to display and store
some of the Division’s valuable artifacts
and pieces of history.
MPHC leaders recently met with the
interim command of the 4th ID to discuss
combining our efforts to ultimately
complete a 30,000 square foot Historical
Center, reflecting the entire history of
the Mountain Post. Since moving their
heritage from Ft. Hood to Ft. Carson and
having a place to put it is a high priority,
don’t be surprised to see dirt being moved
and construction taking place in close
proximity to the existing MPHC site prior
to the end of 2009.
When a construction schedule is
announced, expect supporters of the
Mountain Post Historical Center to
be invited to participate in “turning the first spade of dirt” in the first step
toward completion of the Mountain Post
Historical Center.
