Vehicle History
Built in 1944, not used operationally but may have been used by the National Guard. Bought from the government for $100 in 1950 and donated to the city for use as a monument - originally facing south but moved to face north in 1987. In 1989 parts were removed to help restore a Sherman at Kenosha Military Museum in Kenosha, Wisconsin (now the Russell Military Museum). In 1990, it was discovered that the remaining interior equipment had been burned by vandals.
