National Military Vehicle Museum

Removed from Unnamed collection

Welcome to the National Military Vehicle Museum, a treasure trove of history operated by passionate volunteers from the Military Vehicle Preservation Society of South Australia. This society is part of a network of Military Vehicle Clubs scattered across Australia and the globe, united by their love for preserving military heritage. The museum serves as a haven for these vehicles, offering them shelter while granting the public a rare glimpse into the past. Most of the vehicles belong to individual Society members, who take personal responsibility for their upkeep. But these aren’t just static displays. Each vehicle is lovingly restored to working condition, many with road registration, and are regularly taken out for a spin. The collection is a fascinating journey through time, featuring military vehicles and artifacts from the First World War all the way to contemporary models.

If you find yourself in the area, set aside a few hours to explore this unique museum. The volunteers are often on hand to share stories and insights about the vehicles, adding a personal touch to your visit. Plus, the museum hosts special events where you can see these historical machines in action. It's a perfect spot for history buffs and anyone curious about military technology throughout the ages.
