Firelands Museum of Military History in Ohio

[Pat Carry]

Anyone know if this museum is still open? Their website has gone dark.

Down to an M3-A1 Scout Car, and M-37. Doing pretty much local parades and school/veteran events now. Moved to Akron Ohio

Dad died 3 years ago.

The FAA would not put in writing the return of our exepmtion after compling with any and all AD's. That hurt the worst as the Hueys kept the money flowing.

Sold the 4 Huey's

The M-60 and M-42 went back to the Gov't.
Again we had a special exemption from the Army to demil the weapons system only. We were doing parades with a 60 ton tank and the M-42. Then 9-11 and the worries apparently a terrorist would go to a museum and steal a tank. The Army sent is a letter to immobilize the M-60 and M-42. We were also making some money giving tank rides.


So.... take away our major source of income ( Huey rdes and tank rides and appearance fees) an we are a down to almost nothing

On the personal side sold the Ferret armoured car, and we just auctioned the M-29 Weasel, M-43 Ambulance, M-38 Jeep, 60" Search light, M-100 trailer. Listing the O2-A later this week.

Sick and tired of beating our heads against the wall.

Having a gun auction next month if any one interested. Many class III's

All of that sounds like a total bummer. Sorry to hear you had to close the doors.
