This is a GREAT military museum! Upon arrival, one of the gentlemen gave us a personal tour of the exhibits. Many, many interesting things. You will be here a while. You will definitely not regret visiting. No admission charge. I gave a generous donation on the way out and I suggest that all visitors do the same to help sustain this gem.

I have taken my grandchildren here and they all enjoyed it very much. It is a treasure that not all residents of CT even know of. Great museum and the self-guided tour of the submarine is very worthwhile and informative.

The American Heritage Museum at the Collings Foundation featuring the Jacques M. Littlefield Collection is a history museum chronicling the fight of the American soldier for freedom from the Revolutionary War through modern conflicts and the role that technology played in the battles fought. Told through over 85+ large artifacts throughout the 73,000 square foot museum, the AHM maintains one of the largest collection of operating tanks and military vehicles in the World from many nations including many rare examples such as a German Panther, a Russian IS-2, a U.S. M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo, an Iraqi SCUD B Missile and Launcher, and the only U.S. M1A1 Abrams tank on public museum display in the world. Visitors hear and experience the personal stories of those that fought or helped others fight through first-hand experiences like the World War I trench experience, engaging docents who were crew on tanks in modern wars, and the moving story of the crew of the M1A1 Abrams on display.

Gifted hubby a tank driving experience for this birthday and he was THRILLED! He drove a M-24 tank in their open field, then tested his agility via the obstacle course. A fun once in a lifetime experience! The museum also has an amazing collection of tanks, planes, trucks to explore including a M1A1 Abrams. Well worth a visit. We have also viewed a WWII re-enactment in October of 2019 and that was incredible. Highly recommend this gem of a museum!

The Armory, which manufactured and tested firearms for the U.S. military from 1794 to 1968, houses the country's largest collection of US military small weapons. The displays include rare weapons and the largest collection of confederate weapons anywhere. When it started, the Armory was the first high tech manufacturing to occur in the country, and the advancements in mass production and the ability to create interchangeable parts that started at the Armory, initiated the development of the countries first high tech manufacturing corridor.
