The Indiana Military Museum is a military museum located in Vincennes, Indiana.

History

Background

Jim R. Osborne began collecting surplus military equipment as a child after his neighbor gave him a collection of German equipment he had taken as war trophies.[1] In the late 1960s, he started acquiring land vehicles as well.[2]

Establishment

At the urging of friends, the Indiana Military Museum was founded by Osborne in 1982 and opened to the public in 1984 on Bruceville Road east of Vincennes.[3][4] A pair of buildings slated for demolition were moved to the property and were the museum's first buildings.[5] The display space was further expanded in 1988 with the acquisition of a piece of a former Harold's grocery store.[6] The museum completed the restoration of an LVT-4 in 1991.[7] A major change came in the late 1990s, when the museum realized that it needed to focus on finding a new location.[8] A number of objects were loaned to the Casino Aztar in Evansville, Indiana for a temporary exhibit in 2000.[9] Shortly thereafter, the museum closed to undergo renovations supported by a grant from the Lilly Endowment.[5]

Move

The museum purchased a site west of Vincennes close to the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, where it reopened on 31 May 2013.[10] It acquired A4D, F-16 and Lim-5R airplanes in 2015, a T-34 tank the following year and the sail of the submarine USS Indianapolis the year after that.[11][12][13][14] The museum announced plans to complete a new 24,000 sq ft (2,200 m2) exhibit hall in 2018.[15] The expansion, reduced to 8,000 sq ft (740 m2), opened the following year.[16]

Facilities

The museum is located on the 14-acre (0.057 km2) site of the former Blackford Window Glass Company factory.[8][17] Plans made at the time of the site's purchase call for the construction of a 56,000 sq ft (5,200 m2) building.[18] The museum also has a library.[19]

Exhibits

Exhibits include a memorial for the USS Grayback that was moved from the Heslar Naval Armory.[19] Inside the museum, there are replicas of a 1940s home, the ruins of a French cathedral and a home front factory.[20]
