Ex-soldier plans an armed forces museum in Hoover
Former soldier and retired businessman Henry H. Cobb Jr. plans to fulfill a long-held dream by transforming part of a Hoover office complex into a venue to honor veterans and others who served in all branches of the U.S. armed forces.
Commercial real estate firm Graham & Co. Inc. recently sold a building in its Hoover Business Park on Lorna Ridge Drive to the Armed Forces Museum of Alabama, led by Cobb, a former adjutant general for the Alabama National Guard.
He plans an interactive museum, with maps, books and videos, as well as comfortable chairs for people to sit down, spend time and learn more about U.S. wars and those who fought in them.
Memorabilia also will be a part of the museum, including war-era model airplanes and Cobb's personal collection of knives.
