In addition to all the other great things in Vienna, we are very fortunate to have a great museum that has some amazing artifacts chronicling the long military history of Austria.
Thomas Gardner (10th grade history teacher) and I took the 10th graders to this museum as they have been learning about WWI recently in both History and English. They recently took their unit test in history and in my English class, we are about halfway through All Quiet on the Western Front.
