U.S. ARMY ORDNANCE MUSEUM
The U. S. Army Ordnance Museum, at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland is
Harford County's largest tourist attraction with roughly 45,000 visitors each year.
The museum's world-class collection of arms, armor and technology, possibly the
largest in America, depicts the evolution of America's military and technological
developments alongside those of foreign nations. Several exhibits are the last of
their kind in the U. S. if not the world. The museum collection is a reminder of the
sacrifices made by our ancestors to insure the freedoms we enjoy today.
The museum is scheduled to move to Fort Lee Virginia in 2011. Once the Ordanance
Museum has moved, two museums will take its place: the Communications and Electronic
Command (CECOM) Museum and the Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Museum.
The large number of items left behind will make up the APG museum.
