The museum's goal is to educate and preserve our history through the museum's displays, dioramas and educational program. With the ever growing amount of donated memorabilia, vehicles, one of a kind artifacts and specialized military pieces, the Board of Directors determined that the development of a permanent site would be beneficial to the general public and enable the museum to fulfill its mission objectives.
