Summerville Main Street is extending an invitation to local families, individuals, and organizations to participate in a special “Salute To The Troops” exhibit on November 8th, designed to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation.

This unique, community-driven display will be hosted inside the historic Summerville Depot, coinciding with the highly anticipated last fall arrival of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum Steam Engine Passenger Train. The event aims to create a poignant and visible tribute to veterans, allowing their stories and sacrifices to be shared with a wide audience.

Families and individuals wishing to honor a veteran are encouraged to create personal exhibits. These displays can include a variety of meaningful items such as photographs, military awards, uniforms, written narratives detailing their service, and other personal mementos. The goal is to create a powerful and heartfelt collection of tributes that reflect the diverse experiences of local veterans.

The exhibit not only provides a special opportunity for honoring veterans but also enhances the atmosphere surrounding the popular steam engine train visit, drawing greater public attention to these important displays.

Interested parties, including families, individuals, or local organizations, are urged to contact Summerville Main Street to secure a spot in this meaningful exhibit. This is a chance for the community to come together and collectively express gratitude for the dedication and service of our veterans.
