Our Mission
“To honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families. To educate next generations on the history of American freedom. To preserve and share historic military vehicles.”
Dan Starks, Founder
In 2012, Dan Starks bought a tank. It was the start of something big. Since then he's acquired hundreds more tanks, jeeps, trucks, motorcycles, landing craft and other military vehicles. It's now the biggest collection of military rolling stock in in the U.S. outside of the armed forces themselves.
Unknown Soldiers Weapons Vault
There is a smaller museum within the museum featuring a historically significant collection of firearms -- from the first sniper rifle used in combat to the fully authenticated musket that fired the first shot in the Revolutionary War Battle of Bunker Hill.

World class, indeed. Singularly, one of the finest museums of it's kind I've ever visited... and that INCLUDES the Smithsonian.

I have been to a lot of noted Military Museums, including Wright Patterson Air Force base, The Smithsonian, Pima Air Museum, and even the Beijing Military Museum. This museum tops them all. I cannot imagine a finer tribute to our democracy.

The 140,000 sq feet is amazing. If you are in Dubois or even passing this way and you are a veteran, have a vet in your family or love your country-you need to stop! I can't recommend this enough!
