heartland museum of military vehicles印象

I have stopped here many times over the years to break up trips and each time it improves. If you have kids with you they will love it. The staff is helpful and willing to take time with you. Even if you are not a vet take time to appreciate what they have done for you.

PROS: Extraordinary museum and gift shop. I especially enjoyed exploring the inside of the tank, the MASH unit, the military ambulances, and the display of rations and MREs our military personnel have subsisted on since WWI. The museum curator was there when we visited and answered many of the questions I had. There is a guestbook and clear case for donations upon entering; otherwise, there is no admission fee. Allow at least an hour. We took longer, but I went with a military man. CONS: Nothing to represent the Seabees. I would have liked to see more history on some of the vehicles. Most of the vehicles are housed inside, but there are more outside. When we went, the grass had not been mowed and I was full of burrs when we finished. Hopefully, they will get enough donations to put in sidewalks eventually!

We stopped by on a recent visit to the area and were really surprised at the huge number of vehicles (~60) on display-many of them in working order. Many of the vehicles are open to see into and a few open to get in/on. Most of the items are inside but there are a good dozen out front as well. Very friendly staff. Entry fee is free-will donation. Well worth a stop!

I work for a Automotive Museum in Lincoln, Ne. I have driven right past this gem many times on the Interstate and never stopped. While in the area for a State Museum Conference we did finally stop. Very glad that we did. They have a wonerful collection of Military Vehicles from several eras. Plus they have clothing and other items used by the military. Our guide was a retired man that had served as a paratrooper in Vietnam. He had a great passion and a lot of knowledge of the artifacts. Don't just drive past , stop for an hour and enjoy... Be sure to leave a big donation, entry is free but they can use your help.

Great stop off of I-80. They have a ton of tanks outside and indisde has lots of jeeps, pictures, helicoptors and more. Worth a stop for sure.

I would suggest that any veteran would stop here and look at all the history stored here. Kudos to all who work so hard to keep this museum up and going.

Great place to stop and stretch your legs when traveling Interstate 80. Something for all ages as children can climb on and in tanks displayed on the grounds or enjoy several interactive displays inside. Veterans will see memorabilia from WW I through the Persian Gulf Conflict, with bulk of vehicles WW II, Korean and Vietnam Wars. Many of the vehicles on display are operational and used year-round in area parades.

This is a great military museum with quite a bit of history. Find the dollar bill with Pappy Boyington's autograph!

Despite the name, this collection is really diverse. In addition to the eponymous vehicles (including a HUMVEE prototype from the early 1980s), there is a good assortment of small arms dating back to World War I, a fine exhibit on communication, some great displays of military decorations, and more posted documentation on the M203 grenade launcher than I ever knew existed. (I am kidding, but that particular weapon does come up several times around the facility.) Everything is on one level, so the entire museum is accessible regardless of physical limitation.A particularly interesting exhibit recounts an arduous cross-country Army convoy through the Great Plains in 1919. The challenges faced in this operation led one junior officer to swear that, if he ever became president, he would work on something better. 37 years later, that fellow, Eisenhower by name, signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act. Admission is by donation, and most of the patrons are vets with stories to tell. If you have any interest in this sort of thing at all, do yourself a favor and stop in.

I was amazed at the well maintained and varied collection of equipment this museum has. There's even a Bradley your allowed to crawl around in. Admission is donation's only, I recommend 5 to 10 dollars a head as reasonable. The only downside to this museum is that with all of these vehicles it completely ignores the contributions of the fighting Seabee's to America's superiority in combat engineering.
