Hi All! We are looking forward to our first Tank Demo weekend here at AHM this Saturday and Sunday, May 15th & 16th. There will be several WWII tanks operating with accompanying historical narration. All three museums will be open. We will have two very special guests joining us. WWII veterans Alfred Consigli (Sherman gunner in Patton's Army) and Bill Purple (8th AF, 379th lead B-17 pilot) will be here to talk about their experiences during the day. Such an honor to have these guys with us. Hearing their stories is such a rarity and worth the trip alone! Look forward to seeing everyone this weekend.

– Four (4) Reusable Half-Price General Admission Passes for up to Six (6) visitors under a single pass. Passes are not valid for special events or the annual WWII re-enactment weekend in October.
