The answer to the “What is it? Wednesday” question from September 10th is the cannon breach on our Type 4 Ho-Ro! The Type 4 Ho-Ro is a self-propelled artillery piece, housing a 150mm cannon! This Ho-Ro is the last known example of its kind, on loan to us from the National Museum of the Marine Corps.![]()

Join us at the American Heritage Museum this Friday, September 19th, 1:00pm to 2: 30pm, for a captivating talk by Tom Greeley about his Grandfather who was a Lt. Colonel stationed on Corregidor when we was captured by the Japanese on May 6th , 1942. His talk will focus on how his grandfather’s capture by the Japanese effected his family from the moment they were told to leave the Isle of Corregidor to living in Vermont.
As we make the last preparations for this weekend's event (September 13–14), we wanted to give you all a little sneak peek at what you can expect to see!![]()
