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.

The Mission of the American Heritage Museum
The American Heritage Museum seeks to engage, educate, entertain and enlighten its audiences in the history of our military and veterans through a chronologically arranged series of exhibits and educational interpretation. We do this through a focus on three themes:
The history of the American fight for independence and the preservation of democracy through history.
The role of the American citizen soldier in the battles fought.
And the role of technology and innovation in the defense of these servicemen and servicewomen.
The American Heritage Museum is additionally committed to the development of living history events within Massachusetts to provide inspiration to our future generations.
