Russell Military Museum

Russell Military Museum, Russell, Illinois, USA

I’ve wanted for the last 15 years to one day stop and look at the Russell Military Museum. It’s on the Illinois and Wisconsin state lines off of highway 94. So after driving by a good hundred times today was finally the day. It’s hard not to enjoy the odd and interesting designs if nothing else of the vehicles and aircraft. It’s a bit more of a grave yard then museum since the bulk of things are missing half their parts. None the less, even for a pacifist who would unlikely not last very long in the Salvation Army, like myself has to be amazed at the history and bravery of all this.

Big vacant lot!

Big vacant lot!

Two hours in a Jet Ranger helicopter with the the back windows down can get rather cold in the middle of December over Lake Michigan. All in all not a bad picture of a big vacant lot, the story runs in BusinessWeek Magazine in early 2008 and deals with real-estate in the Chicago area.
