Thursday, August 6, 2026
Museum Hours: 5:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.  |  Presentation: 6:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m.

Join the American Heritage Museum for a special History After Hours presentation exploring the evolution of the main battle tank from the closing years of World War II through the modern era.

Sergeant First Class Gregg Pomerleau, U.S. Army (Ret.), the museum’s resident specialist on Cold War-era armored vehicles, will lead guests on a walking tour through the museum’s galleries and outdoor tank operations ramp. Using historic tanks from the museum’s permanent displays and recently donated Cold War vehicles from its operational collection, Pomerleau will explain how armor, firepower, mobility, targeting systems, crew protection, and battlefield doctrine advanced from the 1950s to the present day.
