History

In 1986, armed only with a determination to preserve historic military vehicles, four Lexington men formed the Heartland Museum. Today the dozens of fully restored vehicles are dedicated in honor and memory of those who served.[1]

In 1991, a permanent site for the museum was obtained at exit 237 of Interstate 80. In 1998, a 16,000-square-foot (1,500 m2) Visitor Center was constructed which houses many of the vehicles.[2]

Collection

The museum has about 100 vehicles including helicopters, tanks, half-tracks, ambulances, and a jeep from every branch of the service. There are also displays of weapons, uniforms, engines, equipment, and more. The everyday necessities of a soldier's life, such as MREs, blend with unique vehicles, like those used by the German army in World War II.[3]
