Narrative:

Problem arose when we leveled off at 2000 ft on an approximately heading of 060 degrees from (gon VOR) 5 mi to the northeast and a navy C-12 was inbound to runway 23. The near midair occurred at that moment. It was brought to my attention when I was back on the ground and tower told me the C-12 missed us by 400 ft. It was hazy during our flight, and I was looking for traffic, and making position reports to tower. There was no indication to my student or I that we were 400 ft from a C-12, we never saw the other airplane, and it was VFR 5 mi and haze.
