ORANGE — The Massachusetts Military History Exposition slated for this weekend will participate in a “vehicle convoy” Friday evening.
The purpose is to showcase some of the vehicles, equipment and personalities from the annual event taking place at the Orange Municipal Airport on Saturday and Sunday. The expo is scheduled to be open each day from 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
At roughly 6 p.m., the convoy will leave the airport’s back gate and travel on South Main Street toward the center of town. The convoy will turn right at Trail Head Outfitters & General Store onto East Main Street, where it will make a stop at Anne’s Dairy Drive-In. At 6:45 p.m., the convoy will return via East Main and South Main streets.
The exposition will consist of displays and exhibits from the American Civil War to the present. There will be World War II battle re-enactments and visitors can interact with living historians and listen to military veterans share their experiences.
The event will be held rain or shine and there will be militaria and food vendors on site. Parking costs $3 and proceeds benefit Boy Scout Troop 1837. Pre-sale parking vouchers will be honored at the gate.
