Bluehawk Posted March 1, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2012 The twister that went through earlier this week caused some damage, but only to the sculpture and aircraft on display at the front end of the campus. They had moved a few of the figures from the huge Veterans Memorial Sculpture that was indoors to the front, and it looks like one of the figures got knocked over. It could have been a lot worse. Nice museum there, I've been to it and enjoyed it quite a bit. Great selection of uniforms and gear, pretty good gift shop too. Photos are of the complete sculpture as it was indoors, and then of the aftermath damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluehawk Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share #2 Posted March 1, 2012 Some of the old DUKWs suffered: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluehawk Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted March 1, 2012 Some reports are saying that the museum "suffered major damage" and others are saying the museum "is in shambles" - but I cannot get any better information than that. If their roof came off, then for sure there will have been something serious happen in there. But, I cannot see any of that evidence from photos yet.

carbinephalen Posted May 24, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 24, 2012 I went to this museum about two weeks ago. Still running great! Only the Faux P-51 was the only thing not repaired! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluehawk Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted June 29, 2012 Is that the old Roy Rogers museum building? That was closed in town maybe last year, wasn't it? I'm glad I got to visit it too before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked and it is not the same building - but I did visit the RR museum in Branson when I lived in KC: it as cool place - too bad RR's son Dusty blew it.

hawkdriver Posted July 2, 2012 Share #11 Posted July 2, 2012 Just drove by the museum today, the P-51 is completely gone and no sign it was ever there. Kind of sucks, makes it harder to find the museum, but the running men are still there. The rest of the museum looked good and plan on visiting later in the week. There were several smaller hotels that were pretty well destroyed in the area and are all being demolished now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluehawk Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share #12 Posted July 3, 2012 Sad to know the Mustang is gone. Maybe they're repairing it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
