The museum has a wide collection of armor, aircraft and soft-skinned vehicles. We rotate displays so that you may see something different on each visit. Plus each year we have increased the number of assets the museum holds. Watch for the completion of our Vietnam era firebase this year.

An Adams County Historical Society was organized in 1888 and continued in operation for almost one year. A second society was organized in 1934 and ceased to function when its president died two years later. The third and present society began meeting in 1939. A charter of incorporation was secured the following year. The county commissioners offered some space in the basement of the courthouse, which the officers used to create a library, archives, and museum. In 1959 the society entered into a 39-year lease of the oldest building on the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg. Completed in 1832, this building was last used as a dormitory during the 1953-1954 year. The historical society occupied this building in 1961.
