August Special Event Weekend – Automobile & Aircraft Museums Open

August 15, 2020 @ 10:00 am, ending August 16, 2020 @ 5:00 pm

$15 – $25

*We ask that everyone wear face masks and adhere to social distancing protocols.

The American Heritage Museum will host the Tanks, Wings and Wheels weekend on August 15th and 16th.

All three amazing museums will be open: The American Heritage Museum, The Historic Aviation Hangar and Classic Automobile Barn. This is a unique opportunity to see some of the world’s most rare aircraft, extraordinary American classic automobiles, historic tanks, armored vehicles, military artifacts and much more.

There is over 100,000 square feet of space within the American Heritage Museum and Hangar combined. There is plenty of room for people to explore these amazing facilities while adhering to social distance protocols. Face masks are required, and pre-event ticket purchases are encouraged. People will be led direction-ally through each museum with limited group size intervals.

The weekend is particularly important as we will be observing the initial announcement of Japan’s surrender that was made on August 15, 1945 (V-J Day), bringing WWII to an end.

Admission Cost:

$25 for Adults
$23 for Active Duty Military/Veterans/Seniors
