NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A traveling World War I exhibit will be on display in downtown Nashville Thursday for one day only.

"Honoring Our History" will make its 43rd stop on a yearlong national 75-city tour. It will be located on Seventh Avenue North between Charlotte Avenue and Union Street behind the War Memorial Building.

On display in a "big rig" truck will be 66 artifacts including weapons, equipment, posters, flags and uniforms from the long-ago war.

Admission is free, but donations will be accepted and divided between the Tennessee State Museum and the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, Mo.
