The ordnance museum at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland.If you ever get the chance to go... GO.... and take the kids.
Any kids. Borrow some if you have to.
We spent a few very enjoyable hours there this afternoon. I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Atwater, the man most often seen interviewed on the History channel when they do anything weapony. I shook his hand and thanked him for his work.
Pack a lunch.... for those interested in the subject, it's a day long Ohhh and Ahhhhh.

I'd consider it a really good vacation if I could do a road trip and spend several days enjoying the displays there. Rock Island Arsenal between Iowa and Illinois also used to have quite a small arms display back in the '70s; I may have to hop on the bike and see if that's still the case after looking at your pics.
I do wish a home could be found for those remaining tanks and artillery pieces.
A simple shed would help.
