We started off with the indoor exhibits, complete with all sorts of memorabilia including newspaper articles, guns, medals, uniforms, equipment, full blown photos, motorcycles, jeeps, tanks and planes.
My dad was thrilled to find a jacket that showcased his unit emblem and stripes. I wish he would have been able to try that on!
If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes, then I don't know what will....
Once we headed outdoors they had a section where you could actually climb on and inside some of the equipment. All of us had a great time doing that...
It was interesting to see the inside of the helicopters and tanks...
I had no idea some of these helicopters were so huge...
Rows and rows of tanks and airplanes....
The Russell Military Museum gave me a new appreciation for our nations Armed Forces. We don't do enough to thank them for their service.
Russell Military Museum is conveniently located off of I-94 near the Illinois/Wisconsin border. Visit their website for hours and admission.
