Stuart Tank Memorial Museum — Attraction in Berwick

The museum was small, but it’s packed with artifacts from WWII. They had the one restored tank inside. It was impressive to stand next to. You get the sense of the claustrophobia they must have felt riding in there; the four crewman with ammunition. A retired Navy Veteran was a our expert tour guide and led us around telling stories & educating us about the history of tanks built by the American Car & Foundry. I really enjoyed it and the tween & teens with me thought it a more interesting way to learn than a textbook. My personal favorite part was seeing the role women (Rosie the Riveter) played in the factory and the schwinn bike truck used in the mile long factory. Many things were donated to the museum and others were found happenstance American Pickers style in old barns, basements, thrift stores etc. The tour was about an hour and a half.

Don't let its small appearance from the outside deceive you, this awesome museum is jam packed with history! With the centerpiece being the well maintained Stuart tank that lets you get up close and personal, there are also exhibits that highlight Berwick's role as a tank and bulldozer factory during the war, the home front, weaponry, uniforms, memorabilia brought home, and stories of local veterans. The gentlemen there are very friendly and give wonderful tours full of amazing information. And with it being free admission (they accept donations which they absolutely deserve!), it's a very great way to spend a few hours on a weekend. They also host an annual World War II Weekend event every summer which I look forward to...

For such a small building, there is alot of interesting history there,even a fully restored Stuart tank....The 2 men there are very very knowledgeable guys and enjoyed their informative talks. The tour lasted bout 2 hours that went fast for me.. We bought a couple of shirts and few other things to help out their cause. If you are a veteran, history buff, or a regular joe its a cool place to see and worth your time. Free to all , donations...
