Salute to Veterans of WWII

The Indiana Military Museum contains one of the best overall collections of military memorabilia from the Revolutionary War to the present day.  The museum has a vast array of unique artifacts, vehicles, artillery, weaponry, uniforms, insignia and artwork. The outdoor grounds is a museum in itself.  Entering the gate you immediately see a missile, a C-47, USS Indianapolis SSN697 conning tower and a full size German Atlantic Wall bunker.  Additional planes, half-tracks, trucks, jeeps, and tanks dot the landscape.
