#1: Musemus in Ohio Author: theopaone, Posted: Sat Jun 24, 2006 5:32 am ---- I am going to a family reunion next month at Cedar Point in Ohio. Are there any armor museums around?
Thanks

Mapquest puts it at about 125 miles east of Cedar Point.
I guess a lot depends on your definition of 'close' and where (and how) you are travelling from.
You are ~380 miles Northeast of Ft Knox and ~450 miles West/Northwest of Aberdeen and ~320 miles East/Northeast of the Ropkey Museum in Indiana. They are all 'around' Cedar Point, it just depdends how addicted you are and how understanding your family is
Seriously I think the Musseum at Hubbard would be a reasonable ( 2 hour) drive and worth the trip. I stopped there a couple years back on the way to a family function in Detroit and was very impressed.

I live in central Texas, I can drive all day and still be in the state. Someday I have to get that car fixed....

Outside it has a few AFVs (including Arnold Schwarzenegger's personal M47 from Austria) and a couple of aircraft. Inside is some neat memorabilia from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars up through ODS. It's not a bad little museum.
