An American museum to house the country’s largest collection of armour and Cavalry objects has undergone a feasibility assessment and is now continuing its fundraising efforts. The $65m (48.28m euro, £41.52m) National Armor and Cavalry Museum is set to open in Fort Benning, Georgia, US, on a 30-acre site and will complement the existing National Infantry Museum.
The first phase of building for the 100,000sq ft (9,290sq m) facility is set to begin in spring.
The National Armor and Cavalry Heritage Foundation is currently working with consulting partner PGAV Destinations to develop and test exhibition elements and develop an operational strategy for the facility.
Foundation chairman Major General George Harmeier said: “The primary focus of the new museum will be to keep the spirit of the Mounted Warrior alive for today’s soldiers and inspire future generations – both soldiers and the American public.”
Project lead Tom Owens of PGAV Destinations said: “The museum will honour the leadership, bravery, courage, and sacrifices of those who fought in the Mounted Forces in every war in our nation’s 250-year history.”
