Causes: Arts & Culture, History Museums
Mission: Started in feb 2001 with award winning artifacts of american military history. Have added artifacts, restored working military vehicles used in display & vehicles in action. The museum was formed for the ultimate goal of preserving equipment, uniforms and memories of the american service men/service women.
Programs: Veterans day reenactment- the museum hosts an annual "open house" for the public to come and experience the rumble of tanks, whine of engines along with observing small arms fire up to the blasts of tank and artillery cannons with impressive pyrotechnics simulating authentic firing. The image of combat and support troops, both friend and foe, are provided through the support of reenactment organizations and their members who strive for absolute accuracy in their historical image. Many bring their own military vehicles, weapons and equipment great distances to participate. Other organizations and museums bring examples to these presentations for the public to have the opportunity to see and experience in a live setting.
