Ernie Pyle World War II Museum

I haven't been here since it reopened but if all that has changed is ownership it probably remains a great stop. The residents really have some pride in the fact that Ernie Pyle was from Dana and it shows. The museum is actually housed inside a Quonset hut and contains some great exhibits. I encourage anyone with the time to stop by and pay their respects to this great man. $5 is worth the donation for something so well done.
