Okay, well it is not as much of a museum as it is a collection of DRMO and scrapped equipment that has been bought and assembled into a pretty interesting assemblage of "stuff". It is located right on the Illinois - Wisconsin border.

I first visited years ago when the "collection" was one third of the current size. Not bad all in all, one must really like militaria to spend the money to go here. Eventually the goal is to refurbish a large number of vehicles. I would volunteer just to be able to climb on some pretty rare pieces of equipment.
