Rusting Army Museum Exhibit Threatens Maryland Tourism
William F. Atwater, curator at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, warns the Ordnance Museum’s outdoor 25 acre display with 225 weapons including tanks and the 280 mm Anzio Annie faces rust and neglect. He proposes a $5 million private fund to preserve the historic site, citing successful private support at Fort Benning and Fort Bliss as models. Maryland hosts the nation’s largest vintage collection of such artifacts and relies on tourism revenue to sustain the attraction.
