45th Infantry Division

The 45th Infantry Museum is another great place to visit in Oklahoma City. It has a great array of tanks, armored personnel carriers and various other armored vehicles displayed outside. The indoor part of the museum was more than expected. It had a very impressive collection of various authentic firearms from every war fought by the USA and much much more. It even had a collection of Hitler memorabilia.

The most interesting bit of info about this museum is that we had one of the WWII 45th Infantry veterans over for dinner who helped start it. He's 90 yrs old, drives and is very active in the community. His great grandfather and grandfather claimed a number of stakes during the Land Run of 1889 on the other side of the town we live in. His father even laid the first streets in town (he lives in this town as well). Now that's living history!
