National Museum of Americans in Wartime
Open House
Our most effective and fun way to promote the Museum and fulfill our mission of honoring, educating, and inspiring visitors, especially young people, about wartime service is through our special events. Our biggest event, the annual “Open House”, is now set for October 24 & 25 at Allan Cors’ Tank Farm (lots of tanks!) near Nokesville, Virginia.
On Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25, the activities will run from 11:00am until 4:00pm. Many vintage vehicles will be on display and several will be used in live demonstrations. Living history units will be present to display their gear and weaponry and even provide some shock and awe. Other exciting activities are being planned right now. Refreshments and Wartime Museum items will be available for sale.
Drawings for tank rides both days!
Veterans, kids, families, and even active duty personnel love this event! If you’ve never been, it’s definitely worth the drive.
Want to get your picture taken beside a Sherman tank or even a Russian T-34? Or see a reenactment of a WWII bunker assault? Witness helicopter maneuvers? Get a cool T-shirt? Then put our open house on your calendar now.
Best of all, it’s a free event! However, we do ask visitors to register in advance so we can plan for the crowd size. You can register now by clicking here
