Anyone know anything.They have asmalll but nice colllection including ww2 VW bug,locust M7,M18 all restored as well as other stuff rotting outside unfortunately. The staff was nice and helpful.

Hey,
I am from Rhode Island and I for sure do not remember it being in my home state. And I had never heard of that museum before.

PAk it's in connecticut, Danbury to be exact about an hour due north of new york. Depending if there is a cross connecticut road from stamford should take you about 2- 2.5 hours. Its not large but it is nice. I found out the guy (read vollunteer landed up sick)so noone was there yesterday I plan on tryin over the weekend.
