Patriotism museum reopens in Atlanta

ATLANTA - The National Museum of Patriotism has moved to a new site in downtown Atlanta.

It's already open to visitors but will have a grand reopening ceremony April 2.

The new museum site at 275 Baker St. across the street from the Georgia Aquarium hosts exhibits on the immigrant experience; branches of the military; first responders; the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta; patriotism in entertainment; events that led to the Revolutionary War; a hall of patriots honoring Medal of Honor winners and others; and an exhibit about the 2001 terror attacks.

The museum also has an exhibit on "Sweetheart Jewelry," which are lockets, bracelets, pins and other items sent home by American soldiers to their sweethearts during times of war.
