Cheryl and I visited the Military Museum of Southern New England. The museum is primarily dedicated to WWI and WWII history.  In addition there is a focus on special forces.

The inside has various collectibles, patches, weapons and uniforms.  What I found most interesting was the good job they did putting together various “scenes” by using props, dummies and artifacts.

The front yard is chock full of tanks, anti-aircraft/tank guns, and military vehicles.  On open turret day you can go inside these vehicles.  Unfortunately it was raining during our visit. This made outdoor photography nearly impossible although I did snap a handful of photo’s using my pocket camera.

If military history interests you take the time to pay a visit to this museum.  For more information and a video tour go to their website.
