The Motts Military Museum is a military museum located in Groveport, Ohio.
History The museum was founded in 1987 by Warren E. Motts in his family home. However, by 1995, the museum announced plans to move to a new location with a building.
After initially attempting to purchase and move Eddie Rickenbacker's Home to the museum in 1996, the museum constructed a replica four years later. The same year, the museum received an M47 Patton tank from Arnold Schwarzenegger. The museum broke ground on a expansion in 2001 and completed it in 2006.
In 2012, the museum acquired a fire truck that was damaged in the September 11th attacks. It received funding from the state to build a shelter for its landing craft in 2015.
Exhibits Exhibits include the Ohio Military Hall of Fame, the Ohio Mobile Vietnam Memorial wall and the Vietnam War Dog Team Memorial.
