m109a3uk Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Plans afoot to close the historic Bastogne barracks. If you have not visited it is well worth it! I have visited 4 or 5 times and learn something new each time.

Diana and Jackie Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Direct from an acquaintance who is involved. I think it is sad how people keep posting inaccurate information to intentionaly misslead other people. The base at bastogne is on the sale list of our defence department for some time now but that is ( i don't know if you are familiar with the bastogne base) the part with the white buildings. For the historic part that is a complete different case, everything from the historic vallue to the toerist attraction and the historic value to the american has to be concidered and all things put together it wouLd be a big mistake to sell that part and our defence department knows it.

ajmac Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The Belgian Army Museum Tank collection was moved down to the Barracks in 2011 or so, taking it away from Brussels and Kaplan, would a sale of the white building part (where the tank museum buildings are located) mean the museum looses its home again?

m109a3uk Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I know the staff there are worried about. So much more could be made of the barracks but as with most things money rules. Houses seem to be what might go in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
