#1: Status of WWII Vehicle Museum in Hubbard Ohio Author: bsmart, Location: Central MarylandPosted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 1:33 pm ---- Does anyone have current information on this nice museum in Hubbard Ohio? The owner, Henry Venneta, died almost 2 years ago. I've been meaning to get back up there but haven't had a chance.
#2: Re: Status of WWII Vehicle Museum in Hubbard Ohio Author: toadmanstankpictures, Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 5:10 pm ---- I read on a couple of boards that the collection was sold to someone in Florida. I don't know any other details off hand.
#3: Re: Status of WWII Vehicle Museum in Hubbard Ohio Author: bsmart, Location: Central MarylandPosted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 5:27 pm ---- The entire collection to one place? I would hope that there would be a new museum opening up

Thanks for bringing this up Bob!

#7: Re: Status of WWII Vehicle Museum in Hubbard Ohio Author: Neil_Baumgardner, Location: Arlington, VAPosted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 6:07 pm ---- There's a few references to Mr Knight already having something of a private, closed-door collection of weapons. If he combines the two it might be a pretty good museum!

After having heard nothing further on the opening/re-opening of this museum in Titusville, I decided to make a call to Knight's company - his secretary says its a private collection, not a museum open to the public

I came across this photo. Is this an actual M3 Lee? Or another M31 TRV masquerading as an M3?

It's a shame it has gone private I wonder if that was known when the collection was sold?
