À propos de cet audio

The Fort Taber-Fort Rodman Military Museum opened in August 2004. Its average annual visitor rate is over 8,500 people, resulting in the museum being hailed as the "biggest little military museum in the country" by former mayor of New Bedford, Scott Lang. The museum is part of the The Fort Taber-Fort Rodman Historical Association, Inc. It is a not-for-profit organization committed to assisting in the restoration, preservation and perpetuation of Fort Rodman and its surroundings. Its President is Bill Niedzwiedz.

Some of the exhibits that are housed in the museum are a statue made by a German POW who was held at Camp Edwards on Cape Cod as well as artifacts recovered from area waters. The museum has photos and biographies of every local serviceman that was killed in the Vietnam War, including uniforms and personal items from some of those veterans. The Vietnam War room has an authentic Viet Cong uniform. Many of its volunteers are veterans and retired military personnel who provide an interesting and informative tour of the museum. Many different types of military guns and rifles are on display. There is a Civil War room, a World War I room, and a World War II display. Its website is www.forttaber.org.

In 2009 construction began on a 1,800 square-foot addition to the museum which was made possible by a starting donation from the Bank of America. The addition increased the available area for the museum to display donated artifacts from the Revolutionary War, Operation Iraqi Freedom (Iraq War), Operation Southern Watch and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan War). The museum is open Wednesday thru Sunday from 1:00PM to 4:00PM, and it is closed only on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s and Easter. It is located at 1000C S Rodney French Boulevard in New Bedford, Massachusetts. As of November 2025 Matthew E. O'Neil's picture and information are on display in the museum.
