Unfortunately the information in this post is outdated.

The hardware of the Ordnance Museum has been moved to Fort Lee, Virginia along with the rest of the Ordnance School.

I worked as a member of the automotive gun crew at Aberdeen for 30 years from 1979 to 2009 (after 4 years in the Army) and it was an awesome career, to say the least.

I was sad to see the items go, the Atomic Cannon, Anzio Annie and many other unique large and small pieces of foreign and domestic miltary history.

APG’s mission is changing but it is still at the forefront of our nations military readiness and I’ll be looking forward to its 100th anniversary in 3 years.

My Pop worked there in the seventies at a LWL - Land Warfare Laboratories (?). They came up with some interesting stuff. He went onto Edgewood after it closed down. You could here the 105's all the way in Chesapeake City.
