Information the Ford Museum has on the old tank that sat in front of the American Legion Hut for so many years:
It was moved to Homer around 1949-1950 from the Texas National Guard and remained here until 1987-1988. Claiborne Parish School Board Superintendent, Gary Jones, was working with the National Guard on the Municipal Airport at that time. He met with Mayor Joe Michael to donate the tank to the Jackson Barracks Military Museum in New Orleans where it was restored and is now.
