great time
This is not the fanciest museum in the world, but has tons of cool military vehicles on display. I took a cub scout troop here several years ago, and they all loved it. I have been back with the family a few times as well. Kids get a kick out of all the military equipment. Certainly no Smithsonian, but great for a small local family run museum.

Awesome!
If you are interested in military history - STOP HERE!! Amazing what one individual has been able to accomplish. There is a collection of tanks, trucks, aircraft, and the list goes on and on. This is an example of a place that lets people see what the military is. Need more places like this. Believe that the military should do more to support museums like Russell's. I was happy to pay $10 for a ticket. The $10 is nothing compared to what is there! Thank you!

A bargain and a service
Reviews which refer to the Museum as a junk yard are unfair. Some of the exhibits are more than 70 years old and literally "went through the wars." At $10 admission for adults, I think the place is a bargain. One of the few M50 Ontos on display anywhere.
