Military Vehicle Display at Double Roads Tavern: History You Can Touch
Step back in time on Saturday, August 22nd, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, when the 16th Armored Division Reenactment Group brings a stunning collection of authentic World War 2 military vehicles to Double Roads Tavern for a free public display. This is a rare chance to see history up close, ask questions of the volunteers who maintain it, and support a great cause along the way.
Who Are the 16th Armored Division Reenactment Group?
The 16th Armored Division Reenactment Group was established to involve the public — especially young people — in the preservation of US military history. Through living history displays and reenactment events, the group works to keep the stories, equipment, and spirit of the WW2 era alive for future generations.
A core part of that mission is the preservation of historic military vehicles. The group maintains a growing motor pool of authentic WW2-era vehicles, all kept fully road worthy and properly registered through the dedication of their volunteer owners. Each vehicle in the collection is individually owned, registered, and insured by the volunteers themselves, who invest countless hours into periodic maintenance and repair to keep these pieces of history running and ready for public display. Two vehicles are currently in the middle of full restoration, with more planned for the future.
What You’ll See at the Display
Guests at Double Roads Tavern will have the opportunity to view a hand-picked lineup of military vehicles from the current motor pool which includes:
- 1944 Willys MB — the iconic WW2 Jeep
- 1945 Dodge WC-51 Troop Carrier
- 1942 White M3A1 Scout Car
- 1942 White M2A1 Halftrack
- 1942 Ford GPW — Ford’s version of the classic WW2 Jeep
- 1943 Bantam T3 Trailer
- 1940 Dodge D19 Luxury Liner
- 1943 Dodge WC-63 / L60 Bofors
- 1943 GMC CCKW Model 352 — the legendary “Deuce and a Half”
Each vehicle tells its own story, and the volunteers on-site are passionate about sharing the history, engineering, and restoration work behind every piece in the motor pool.
A Display That Supports a Great Cause
Beyond the history and the horsepower, this event supports the Honor Flight Charity, an organization dedicated to honoring America’s veterans by flying them to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor. Every visitor who stops by the display helps raise awareness and support for veterans who gave so much in service to the country.
