The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center sponsors a public readings series, the Brooks E. Kleber Memorial Readings in Military History. The series features recent works by noted authors on a variety of historical topics. The series honors the memory of Dr. Brooks E. Kleber, former U.S. Army Assistant Chief of Military History (CMH). Dr. Kleber served as the Deputy Chief Historian, CMH and Chief Historian, Continental Army Command (later training and Doctrine Command). During World War II, Dr. Kleber was assigned to the 90th Infantry Division in the European Theater of Operations. He was captured shortly after D-Day and interned until the end of the war, later becoming one of the Army's foremost authorities on prisoners of war. He was inducted into the Infantry Hall of Fame and retired from the U.S. Army Reserve as a colonel. A 1940 graduate of Dickinson College, Dr. Kleber held an M.A. and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.
All lectures are held in the Visitor and Education Center Multipurpose Room at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center.

Every year the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center hosts two major living history events, one in the spring and one in the fall.
Every May, the USAHEC celebrates Army Heritage Days, with a two day living history event full of different demonstrations and activities. Hundreds of living history interpreters occupy the Army Heritage Trail and recreate historical military moments throughout history. It includes Soldiers from as far back as the French and Indian War continuing through Current Operations. The building is also open throughout the day hosting lectures and panels, in addition to highlighting the current exhibits.
Every fall, the USAHEC hosts a three-day living history event with a changing theme. Past events focused on the Revolutionary War, while future events will examine the Civil War and the War of 1812. Hundreds of living history interpreters and sutlers occupy the Army Heritage Trail, and weekend activities usually include drill, firing and other demonstrations. The building is also open throughout the day hosting lectures and panels, as well as highlighting the current exhibits.
