American Heritage Museum

Hudson, MA 01749
This museum is all about history of military, from the American Revolutionary War of 1775 to terrorists in 21st century. On Collings Foundation ground, it opened in 2018, is 26 miles west of Quincy Market in Boston. Admission is $20. I recommend this museum.
Driving through New England, I get the sense of community. The New Englanders are just bit more polite, and provincial. They’re full of history. New York has history but the Big Apple is loud and a melting pot.
Coincident, there is an event going on. This gentleman in the wheelchair said he was at the Normandy Landing, which was the D-Day on June 6th, in 1944. Thank you!
The exhibits are mostly from the two world wars, WWI and WWII because of Jacques Littlefield (1949-2009), the world largest private collection of military tanks and vehicles.
The Trench Experience is the first exhibit we attended: highly recommend. WWI’s artifacts, scenes plus a little Disney: the shaking ground when the bomb hits.
WWII followed the Trench Experience.
“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what do do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” General George Patton.
German made tanks were far more elegant and refined than the Russian’s, but with low quantity and difficulty of repairing. Reportedly, one or two kick to the Russian machine was all the repair it needed.
… and Leonardo da Vinci
It’s also coincidence that today is PLA-Day, People’s Libration Army 中国人民解放军建军纪念日, established in 1927 in Nanchang. Next, we visit Springfield Armory.
