INTRODUCTION
Introduction & Purpose
The USA Historical AFV Register is intended to provide a cataloging of all of the historical Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFV), including tanks, APCs and self-propelled artillery, etc that are on preserved or otherwise displayed in museums or as monuments in the United States. As such the registry ranges from the World War I-era Skeleton Tank to modern M1 Abrams tanks. However, the registry is not intended to include modern AFVs that are still in service.
Format
The USA Historical AFV Register is organized by state and city or town as follows.
STATE
CITY OR TOWNLocation (GPS Coordinates)AFV Model Man/User status Notes and/or location
Man./User donotes the original manufacturer (country) and various users, using three letter country codes.
Status is denoted by one of the following codes.
ind = indoor displayout = outdoor displaystd = stored (this can be either indoor our outdoor storage, but clearly not on display)wre = wreck (typically vehicles recovered from a target range or simply in very bad condition)
Often, if there are a large number of AFVs on display in a particular town or military post, sublistings are also provided, organized by location - museum, building, road, etc.
Many of the vehicles listed as Unconfirmed are from the Central Registry of donated vehicles maintained by the U.S. Army's Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM). Many of these vehicles donated to American Legion and VFW Posts may actually be located in local parks. Additionally, many of the Unconfirmed World War II era vehicles such as Sherman and Stuart tanks have since been moved or may no longer exist.
Additional information about a particular vehicle is often included in footnotes.
Serial Numbers (SN) and Registration Numbers, aka USA numbers (RN) are given when available. Note that many M60 tanks have two SNs, the original one as built and an Anniston Army Depot (AAD) rebuild SN (which ends in an A) or a Mainz Army Depot (MAD) SN (which ends in an M). For British and Canadian WWII era vehicles, War Department (WD) Numbers are given when known, as are post-war Vehicle Registration Numbers (VRN) for British vehicles.

Sources
The USA Historical AFV Register is compiled from a number of sources. Firstly, the register is an expansion of Leslie Delsings Wrecks and Relics in the USA tank registry, posted to the AFV News Discussion Board on 22 May 2006. The register has also been greatly expanded thanks to armyjunk2 and his copy of the TACOM Central Registry. Some of the other notable online sources include the Waymarking Military Ground Equipment Displays site, the former Tanks for the Memories geocaching site, The Sherman Register, Toadmans Tank Pictures, Trevor Larkum's Preserved Tanks, Robert Buettners War Memorials of Wisconsin, and Don Moriarty's The History of the Ontos as well as forums and message groups such as the AFV News Discussion Board, G104 (the Sherman Register mailing list), G103 (dedicated to Stuart tanks), and G136 (dedicated to M8 Greyhound and M20 armored cars). Where possible, the origin of information on a particular vehicle is denoted i
