Museum of American Armor

This Labor Day Weekend, Saturday, September 5th and Sunday, September 6th between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., the Museum of American Armor, 1303 Round Swamp Road, Old Bethpage, will present “Tanker Friend &amp; Foes,” operating its collection of Allied armor alongside replica enemy vehicles they would have confronted during World War II.
From the Hellcat tank destroyer that could reach speeds of 50 miles per hour, to the replica Tiger tank whose lethal cannon created deadly havoc for the Allies, the Armor Museum’s collection will be presented for the purpose of paying tribute to those who have defended our freedoms and the sacrifice required to do so.

Donations are requested at the door with suggested amounts: $15 adults; $12 children 5 - 12 (under 5 are free); and $12 seniors (60+), volunteer firefighters, and veterans.

Joining the celebration will be Chief Judge of the State of New York and the New York Court of Appeals, Honorable Rowan D. Wilson and historian and philanthropist Elihu Rose who will present the awards at JHC's annual Soirée. Special guests will include David Blight, Frank Cogliano, Joanne Freeman, and Beverly Gage.
