Activities for the Class
An essential part of the unit will be the visit to a museum nearest to the school. At POLYTECH, we have the luxury of having a museum right next to Dover Air Force Base (DAFB). In fact, the Dover Air Mobility Center (AMC) Museum used to be located on DAFB however after the events of 9/11 the fence surrounding the museum was moved and the boundaries of the base no longer include the museum. This was done after so many people complained about access to the museum when the base was decided it was no longer open to visitors after 9/11 essentially removing access to the museum. Now the museum is open to all again. It contains an exhibit that describes the beginnings of Dover AFB as well the development and changing mission of the base. It also is able to capture how the development of the base and the mission of the base impacted the City of Dover and Kent County Delaware.
