Visitor Tips and News About House of Tank Museum
Reports and tips from RoadsideAmerica.com visitors and Roadside America mobile tipsters. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip.
A private collection of tanks from various nations and eras is all displayed in a former printing warehouse. I was told by the young woman at the museum entrance that the tanks are owned by a Wichita neurosurgeon who collects them as a hobby.
The tanks are identified with individual placards, but there is little other explanatory information or other trappings of a typical museum (gift shop, etc). I didn't make a count, but something like 25 tanks are on display.
