Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles
The Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles (HMMV) is a Nebraska non-profit organization that is staffed by volunteers and dedicated to the restoration and preservation of historical military equipment of all types.
In 1986, armed with only a determination to preserve historic military vehicles, four Lexington men formed the Heartland Museum. In the beginning, the four friends began by taking their restored vehicles to Veteran’s Day celebrations across Nebraska. During these trips, veterans were able to ride in the vehicles, and even drive them if they wished. The response was so gratifying to the quartet that they continued to comb central Nebraska for additional historic equipment.
Today, the Museum is home to dozens of fully-restored military vehicles and is dedicated in honor and memory of those who served. The recently expanded facility includes a wide variety of vehicles, although most of them were acquired within a 150-mile radius of Lexington.
Many of these pieces were formerly used by farmers in the 1940s and early 1950s when tractors were still in short supply. As these old standbys were retired, many were parked amongst windbreaks and left to rust away.
