Awesome museum. Event was very organized.
The American Heritage Museum at the Collings Foundation featuring the Jacques M. Littlefield Collection is a history museum chronicling the fight of the American soldier for freedom from the Revolutionary War through modern conflicts and the role that technology played in the battles fought. Told through over 85 large artifacts throughout the 68,000 square foot museum, the AHM maintains one of the largest collection of operating tanks and military vehicles in the World from many nations including many rare examples such as a German Panther, a Russian IS-2, a U.S. M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo, an Iraqi SCUD B Missile and Launcher, and the only U.S. M1A1 Abrams tank on public museum display in the world. Visitors hear and experience the personal stories of those that fought or helped others fight through first-hand experiences like the World War I trench experience, engaging docents who were crew on tanks in modern wars, and the moving story of the crew of the M1A1 Abrams on display.

An excellent museum of American military history.
Saw an advertisement describing the American Heritage Museum and being a veteran and also a volunteer at a couple of museums, I thought I'd check this one out. I'm glad I did. They recommend 2-3 hrs to take it all in and that time will go by very quickly. The equipment is in operable condition. The guides are excellent. They have excellent video documentaries.I'm told it is one of the world's largest collections of tanks and military vehicles.

Best Ride Ever
I have always loved tanks, especially the M4 Sherman. I have been trying to find a way to get inside one for decades. The American Heritage Museum provided me with that opportunity and then some! I paid the fee to have instructions on driving the tank and then I got to drive around a track on the property for twenty minutes. It was more fun than you can imagine. They have modified their tank so that there are dual controls in it so the instructor can control the tank too, you know just like driving school when you were a teenager, but a lot more fun. The museum itself has the best display of tanks and armored vehicles I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of displays over the years. The staff is enthusiastic and knowledgeable and eager to provide you with all the little details about each display.
