Union City, Tenn., resident Hugh Wade was honored March 28, 2011, at a meeting of the Obion County Museum board of directors. Sonia Outlaw-Clark, the West Tennessee representative for the Tennessee Association of Museums (TAM) and the director of the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center, presented Wade a commendation issued to the local museum earlier this month at a state meeting.

Wade has put three years of work into a  military history exhibit now on display at the museum. Visitors can view the exhibit at the Obion County Museum, 1004 Edwards Street, Saturdays and Sundays, 1-4 p.m., and by appointment (731-885-6774). The military exhibit features thousands of items collected and catalogued by Wade.

The exhibit will also be available for viewing Saturday, May 21, during "Day at the Museum." There will be lots of outdoor family activities on this day as well.
