SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – The Fort Douglas Military Museum is looking for pieces of history.

The museum’s curators say anybody with military artifacts – old or not so old – is welcome to call or bring them by the fort overlooking Salt Lake City.

About 1,000 people attended the annual Fort Douglas Day Celebration at the 149-year-old military post. The museum is seeking donations of military memorabilia to add to its collection.

The museum also is looking for volunteers to help establish a detail of living-history interpreters.
