Museum of the American G.I.

Museum of the American G.I.

Beautifully restored, award winning, military vehicles and equipment. Established in February 2001 as a 501(c)3 non-profit Corporation, the Museum of the American G.I. began with an inventory of multiple award-winning artifacts of American military history. One of the goals of the museum is to be a repository of restored, working military vehicles used by the United States and to display the vehicles in action.

What makes this museum unique is its ability to exhibit the vehicles and weapons in action. 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.
In return, this museum supports activities at other organizations' events.
These "Open House" events also provide opportunities for vendors to bring their products and services for sale to the public and other military history enthusiasts. The museum is open Monday-Friday from 10am-5pm.
