Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles, Lexington, Nebraska

Great museum.   We were able to see tanks, jeeps, halftracks, a helicopter that had been shot down 5 times in Viet Nam, ambulances, a snow tractor, HMMWV’s, a WWII Volkswagon swim wagon, uniforms, motors, Hot Lips, uniforms, guns, a vehicle used in Patton’s army, and many other items.  What we liked is that we could even touch the vehicles and sit in some of them.  Great day.  Click on travel photos for more photos.

Great history here.  Snow vehicle used to rescue downed pilots and to recover the Norden bomb site.

During WWII, Germans would string piano wire across roads about neck high.  The army put a wire cutter on their jeeps to take care of this problem.
