Don't miss - this Friday at the AHM, 2:00pm to 3:30pm, special Speaker Series presentation by Ashlen Hyatt Nunnery. 'Mud Pies and War Planes' is a powerful and intimate memoir with raw honesty and deep emotion that captures what it means to grow up in the shadow of war, and the quiet ways it reshapes everyone it touches. Ashlen is the daughter of Capt. Leo G. Hyatt, who became a Vietnam POW at the infamous Hanoi Hilton prison. She will have her father's uniform and artifacts on display that will be put into AHM's Hanoi Hilton exhibit.

World War II Tank Driving Experiences and Tank Rides!
The mission of the American Heritage Museum is to bring visitors an immersive experience in history to give a greater appreciation for those who lived it and an excitement to learn more. For the ultimate immersive experience, the American Heritage Museum is offering YOU the opportunity to ride aboard or even DRIVE a real tank from World War II… the M4A3 Sherman Medium Tank, the M24 Chaffee Light Tank, or the M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer.
Being a crew member or driving a tank is not particularly comfortable. These metal beasts are all business, designed to go over most obstacles with ease and destroy anything in its path. Once in a tank, it is clearly evident you are driving a machine with great power. When you’re in a tank, things don’t happen to you – You happen to them!
From April through October, the American Heritage Museum offers tank riding and driving programs in the Sherman, Chaffee, and Jackson right here at our tank training area right behind the museum in Hudson, Massachusetts. You’ll check in for your experience and be transported back to 1944 as you step aboard!
Learn about each tank riding or driving program in the listings below and book online if you desire! You may also call us to book at 978-562-9182 M-F from 9am to 5pm (ET).
All tank driving experiences are considered tax-deductible contributions and 100% of the donations for the experience goes into the upkeep and restoration of the vehicles and growth of the programs at the American Heritage Museum.
