Remember that ending scene out of Indiana Jones where the Ark of the Covenant is boxed up and wheeled through an endless government warehouse? Did you know that that place actually exists? It is called the Center of Military History. It is located 30 minutes outside Washington, D.C., at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. The building itself is very nondescript…
The room consists of dozens of collapsable “hallways” filled with the richest American firearm collection on the planet...

It’s in Fairfax Co, on the Potomac. Very close to DC.
Where you visit, of course, is your business and I won’t argue with it.
Come on Gaffer, it’s not the place that’s the problem - it’s the people in the DC area that’re the problem. You’d go to Arlington National Cemetery and the other war memorials there wouldn’t you?
7 miles from "Univille" SD.
Been to DC 7 times It’s an amazing place full of history and patriotism, architecture and the rest. My mom took us there and I have taken all of my 4 kids and new wife. You’re not going only its me closer to the front of the line. Thanx.
Yes many times in fact. Not planning on going back
A lot of their collection is “loaned out” to other museums.
A cool museum to see is the National Infantry Museum at Ft Benning GA
Military history ping.
Thanks. The Ark is in the 14th sub-basement of that building, the Roswell space craft is in the 4th sub-basement.
I had to do a search. I didn’t recognize it, had been too long since I watched that series. LOL
So wut yer sayin’ is we are gonna find the alien spacecraft, before we find this ark thingy???
Not if you take the elevator directly to the 13th sub-basement without stopping. And the Holy Grail is in the 7th sub-basement along with the Templar Treasure.
I need a flyer...This is getting complicated...;-)
I’m for moving the seat of the national government to Lebanon, KS. It would liberate northern Virginia. Let DC be nothing more than a memory.
