American Heroes Museum

[edit]

The American Heroes Museum was officially opened to the public on Veterans Day, 2009. Based largely on what was left of the "Back To The 40's" collection at the former Ramada Express (now the Tropicana Express Hotel and Casino), in Laughlin, Nevada, after every effort was made to return displayed items to their original owners. As a result of the issues that had arisen from the closure of the original exhibit, the AHM accepts donations only. An online donation form will available soon. Item and artifact donations are accepted at the museum during their opening hours of 10AM - 4PM, Thursday - Sunday.

The American Heroes Museum exhibits an encapsulized version of the historical and military culture of America during times of conflict in the 20th century. Located in Fort Mohave, Arizona, the AHM serves veterans and civilians alike.

The museum's current location on Hwy 95 is only a temporary home for the collection. Land has been dedicated for a permanent site at Desert Lawn Memorial Gardens in Mohave Valley, AZ.

As of Januaury, 2010, entrance to the American heroes Museum is free of charge.
