I've been to a few War Museums in various places including the one in London. This one is incredible and definitely on the road trip bucket list.

A friend emailed me that YouTube a couple of days ago. It is impressive. I think the museum is in Colorado.

Astonishing. Even more so that the equipment is in working condition. It took a tiny bit of sleuthing but the full address of the place is listed as 1250 Dragonman Dr., Colorado Springs, CO 80929. Not that I'm going to drive out there tomorrow, but when I'm visiting friends in Colorado, I'll try for a tour. We have a good WW II museum in Wolfboro, NH but it's nothing compared to this.

That's absolutely amazing!! How on earth did he find all of this memorabilia and get the funding for his museum? He has many millions of dollars into this venture!

I wonder how many dollars went into this collection and how it was funded. It is absolutely amazing how detailed this is with all the machine gun nests etc. I would love to see this sometime. I wonder if it is seasonal and when that season is. He said there were six more tours before it closed, I guess for the season. If this is a one man operation, I would hope he would sell or donate this to the Smithsonian so it could live on after he is deceased or unable to continue working with it.

A friend sent a link of it to me this morning. It is east of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Does anyone have any idea just how much money is invested in that place? That collection has to be worth many millions of Dollars.A friend emailed me that YouTube a couple of days ago. It is impressive. I think the museum is in Colorado.
He is listed as a Class III dealer, so all the machine guns could be operational
The biggest collection of armor I've seen is the AAF Tank Museum at Danville, Virginia.

The new one in New Orleans is great. It’s also a work in progress.

If you ever visit Kansas City, Missouri, a visit to the WWI museum is a must.
It's an amazing place.
