That is a great museum. For your next one tank trip, check out McClain's Armor museum in Anderson Indiana (lot more armor including a T-34, M1A1 Abrams, M113) or the Kruse Museum up in Auburn Indiana (Hanomags, Kubels, 88, Pak 36, Dragon Wagon, much more..)

Not sure why, but Indiana seems to have a lot of Armor museums.
