Operating Military Vehicles

The Restored Military Vehicle Program offers visitors a chance to view some of the most well-known military vehicles of the World War II, Cold War and Vietnam eras. These restored military vehicles are maintained and operated by the museum staff and vehicle volunteers. During the summer, the vehicles participate in many parades and are periodically displayed on the Cantigny Park grounds.

Typical hours for vehicle displays are 10 am to 2 pm, weather permitting. Volunteers dressed in period uniforms are present and able to answer questions.

When not involved in special events, the volunteers assist in the ongoing restoration of additional military vehicles. Current projects include the restoration of a World War I Liberty truck. Please remember that these vehicles are artifacts and are not to be climbed upon.
