There are a few places in Wyoming that, if you've never been there, you're missing out on fantastic history. One of those places is the National Museum of Military Vehicles in Dubois. This place is absolutely incredible.

When Dan Starks began this project, it wasn't really a project; it was a hobby of collecting historic military vehicles and tanks. Now, it has developed into a full-blown military appreciation, featuring $160 million and 160,000 square feet of a salute to our military history.

Every person I tell about it, I always follow up with the phrase, "But make sure you have multiple days to explore," because you aren't able to experience and enjoy everything in just a few hours fully.

I can tell you how cool, historic, and keeps veterans front and center, the museum is, but you have to see it to believe it. It has only been a couple of years since it opened, and since the grand opening in 2022, they have begun highlighting some of their displays and vehicles on their YouTube channel. I sit in awe at every new video they post, including the latest video and description of the M41 Walker Bulldog Tank.

This bad boy is light, fast, agile, and carries a BIG gun. In the video, they drive the tank on the grounds of the museum, explaining its history, features, and what it's like to drive.

I encourage you to like, subscribe, and follow the museum on its social media platforms to stay up-to-date with the latest highlights. However, I will also tell you that watching a video isn't nearly as cool as actually visiting the museum, located just outside Dubois.

If you're lucky enough, you may be there on the day Dan is giving a tour. It's incredible.

PHOTOS: Trump's military parade rolls through Washington, D.C.

The grand military parade that President Donald Trump wanted for eight years barreled down Constitution Avenue in Washington with tanks, troops and a 21-gun salute. The celebration played out against the counterpoint of protesters around the country who decried the U.S. leader as a dictator and would-be king. The Republican president, on his 79th birthday, sat under a special viewing stand constructed south of the White House to watch the display of American military might. — The Associated Press
