Aberdeen, MD 21005(410) 272-3622 www.goordnance.apg.army.mil/odmuseum.htm Imagine a museum dedicated to blowing things up! (The SCTV Farm Reporters would really love this place... 'It blowed up real good!') Here is the lowdown straight from the horse's mouth:
'The United States Army Ordnance Center and School Museum was established in 1919 to exhibit and preserve captured enemy materiel, and also certain United States ordnance materiel which had been shipped to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., for testing purposes. This exhibit served as a reservoir of information for the systematic study of various types of equipment which is always an important part of the program in the design of new weapons.'
