Museum looking for a Mule donation

Post by Mike47 » Mon Oct 16, 2017 2:49 pm

I recently visited the "Museum of the Forgotten Warriors & Library Center" in Marysville, CA, on the recommendation of folks at the recent Camp Gridley meet in Northern California, put on by the Northern Recon Group of MVCC. What I found was an incredible collection of military memorabilia spanning WW I, WW II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam War and Desert Storm. The owner and curator, Dann Spear, is looking for a donation of an M274 without motor, and he's not too particular about condition. This is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt charity, so a donation would most likely be tax deductible. I have no connection to this organization, other than visiting it once. Dann Spear can be contacted at (530) 742-3090. The museum is located at 5865 "A" Road, Marysville, CA 95901, just southwest of Beale AFB.

Found out the Museum's director, Dann Spear, passed away February 23, 2018. The museum is still very active (supported exclusively by volunteers) and can be viewed at www.museumoftheforgottenwarriors.org . From the pictures it looks like they do not have an M274 Mule in the collection yet. What they DO have is astonishing, and worth a look on line. You can see just about everything by browsing the website.

Once again, I have no connection to the museum other than one visit.
