HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It was the talk of the town nearly three years ago when Hollywood came to Huntington to recreate the story of the Marshall University plane crash and its impact on the community.

Now, props and costumes from the movie will be on display. The unveiling is scheduled Tuesday. We have a sneak peek of the exhibit and what the public won't see that's stored away at the university.

Sam Stanley said the public will see items, including a costume worn by actress Kate Marra.

"They'll (also) see a lot of stories in the newspaper from (when the crash occurred) and headlines," he said.

The exhibit also describes actors' roles in the movie. But all of that is just a snapshot of what's hidden in a locked room at the university's Special Collections Department.

Lisle Brown is an archivist at Marshall and went to Warner Bros. Pictures' warehouse before filming began to pick out the perfect props and clothing for "We Are Marshall." Recently, Hollywood gave many of the props back to the university as a gift.

"It was a free gift, no strings attached," Brown said. "We keep it here cause we can house it."

The unveiling of the public exhibit will be at noon Tuesday at the Herd Hall of Fame Cafe in downtown Huntington.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - Costumes and other movie props from
"We Are Marshall" will go on display Tuesday at the Marshall Hall
of Fame Cafe in downtown Huntington.

Shots made during filming in Huntington and Atlanta will also be
exhibited.

The 2006 movie starring Matthew McConaughey as football coach
Jack Lengyel chronicles Marshall University's rise from the ashes
of a 1970 plane crash that killed most of its football team, half
the coaching staff and several prominent members of the Huntington
community.

University President Stephen Kopp, athletics director Bob
Marcum, former assistant coach Red Dawson, former quarterback
Reggie Oliver and newsman Keith Morehouse, whose father was
killed in the crash, are scheduled to attend Tuesday's
ribbon-cutting ceremony.
