  An amazing place to visit, you can see most of all of the ww2 militari vehicles (american) and basically of of them in running condition. Entrance is free, just contribute with a donation. There are also 1/35 scale models on exhibition, very detailed models and dioramas of trucks, tanks and many more. Also there are a few vehicles outside and even a ww1 tank. They do some extraordinary activities on weekends too. Highly recommended this place.

  Absolutely incredible. Tanks, trucks, cars, artillery shells, rocket launchers, anti aircraft guns, and more, they have it here. It was like a walk through American history. Artifacts range from an early tank model from the first World War to a "cursed" Israeli tank, as well as countless guns from all divisions of our fine military. The gentlemen that run and maintain this gem of a place are informative, passionate, and experienced, always looking for questions to answer or facts to share. The establishment itself is spotlessly clean and heated and air conditioned. A small lobby featuring memorabilia from our soldiers of old and a screen depicting tank battle reenactments (the likes of which are supposedly frequent here in the summer) greets you as soon as you step inside. There is no entry fee, as the place is, as one of the guides put it, "not so much a museum as much as it is a memorial." All revenue is based on donations, and given the treasures kept here, a donation is in everyone's best interest. In conclusion, this place surpassed all expectations I had for it, and I know for a fact it will surpass yours as well. 11/10

  Small museum, but they have a great selection of RUNNING armor and vehicles, and free admission. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a one on one tour with the history of each machine. Worth the drive just to be able to stand next to a working Hellcat with a live gun. Awesome.
