Just east of I-74, north of State Road 32 on county road 150 North in Crawfordsville, Indiana, resides one of the finest collections of U.S. Tactical Military Vehicles in the country.

This is a place where the harmony of man, machine, and emotion can be found over a 50 acre site known as the Ropkey Armor Museum. The most recent addition is the half-mile runway and new hangar to accommodate the museum's vintage aircraft.

Originally located on the northwest side of Indianapolis, Fred and Lani Ropkey moved their extensive collection to the rolling countryside of Montgomery County in 2004.

The museum is housed in a large indoor facility where the music and memorabilia reflect a time when man and machine served as one.

The museum is a great destination/location for car clubs, veteran’s reunion groups, educational tours, and other civic organizations.

The museum is open March-December, Monday-Friday from 10:30AM - 4:30PM or by appointment. Come and visit the Ropkey Armor Museum and experience the emotion of our military heritage.
