Our 7th mural has been finished and is now on display behind the US M65 Twin 50's. This mural is based on an actual photograph from Vietnam of a F4 Phantom Fighter Bomber doing a napalm run.

Remember when a trip to the attic meant going thru boxes and trunks to find that treasure that was stored away for more years then you can count. Remember the cobwebs and spiders that you endured just to see what treasures you could find. Well the Tank Museum has been collecting and storing military memorabilia for over 40 years and is now offering some of the best treasures imaginable in the military field. The museum has set up a website at www.militaria-uniforms.com and will be offering many one of a kind groupings and some very rare and exotic headgear. So check out the new website for a wonderful piece of military history.

The Museum has three new exhibits which we are very excited about. The first one is an original dress on a sculptured mannequin of Eva Braun, Hitler's mistress and wife. This exhibit is getting lots of attention from our visitors. The next exhibit is called "Patchwork" and it is the museum's large collection of US Tank and Cavalry patches. This exhibit has over 1300 patches, and takes up 3 very large walls. The last exhibit is called "Rule Britannia" which is a collection of British Tank and Cavalry artifacts. Our English visitors are really enjoying this display.

The museum has presently two projects under way. The first one is a video that we would like to produce to sell thru the gift shop and website. The video would be approximately 1 hour in length and would give the viewer a very good idea what is in store for them if they visit the museum. The taping is finished and the next step is working on the script and then getting music to finish the project off. The other project is a calendar (pin-up style) with many of our vehicles and weapons being used as backdrops. Please check back with our website to see how these two projects are coming along.

The 5th Annual Indoor Car and Bike Show was a great success with over 120 cars and over 350 visitors. 55 first place trophies were given out to the top winners of the show. Over $3,000 worth of items were raffled off from local sponsors. Here is a picture of the handmade "Best of Show" trophy that was won by Brian Zellner for his 1970 Pontiac Firebird. Mark your calendar for November 7th for the next Car and Bike Show. You can check out more information about last year's show and see the flyer for this year's show by clicking this link.

The museum is also working with the "Route 58" group in a new website project to help get information out there about Danville Virginia and what there is to see and do here. If you would like to check out this great new website please follow this link.
