Coins have been given as souvenirs and rewards since Roman times. Tradition suggests that the modern challenge coin concept dates to the First World War. According to a legend, an American lieutenant in the Army Air Corps printed medallions to encourage esprit de corps among his men. We have over 120 of these coins in our collection.

Blessed with a treasure trove of historic artifacts dating back to the late 1800 and located in the original grounds of the Academy. Must see!

Just happened to drive by so I turned around. Best decision I have made in a while. What a gem and the docent Chris was the best!
