Their site says that a US Driver's License will get you in. If not, a
military ID will let me
bring on guests.
Google gave me this:
"The collection contains not only the historic and best of the American
tank fleets,
but also the best from Russian, German, British and French tank fleets as
well.
Some of the key pieces in the tank display at the Ordnance Museum are the
Renault, Grant, Sherman, and Leopard tanks.
The tanks are on display on immaculately tailored grounds. The outdoor
collection
consist of not only the tanks, but also armored vehicles and many other
weapons.
This is a definite place to stop if one is a tank and armored weqapon
enthusiast.
Panzers, Priest, Stalin and the Matilda tanks are all on display and in
their fully
restored glory. ...(snip) ...
*Presently the Ordnance Museum is missing some of their tank display. This *
*is because it is in the process of relocating.* Originally situated about
35 miles
north of Baltimore, the decision has been made to relocate the Museum to Ft
Lee,
Virginia. Many of the tanks are still available for viewing, although more
get moved
daily. The task of relocation will take some time, and even with tanks
removed from
the 25 acre display field, this is still worth the trip."

So.... the longer we wait, the less will be there.
