On Sunday June 4th, CCA members are invited to cruise to The Vint Hill Cold War Museum. Since 2011, the Museum has been located at Vint Hill, Virginia, on the grounds of the former Vint Hill Farms Station, (aka Monitoring Station No. 1), which was a Top Secret Army signals intelligence base during WWII and the Cold War.
The collections are particularly strong in signals intelligence, image intelligence, the history of Vint Hill during both WWII and the Cold War, Cold War Berlin, Civil Defense, atomic weapons, the Liberty and Pueblo incidents, Cold War cultural and Olympic competitions, Strategic Air Command, submarine detection, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the STASI, and Soviet and East German disinformation campaigns. Many of their artifacts are rare and some are one-of-a-kind. Some of the exhibits were created and donated by those who did the work.
As a bonus, the Museum shares a campus with Old Bust Head Brewery and the Vint Hill Winery. If our group is very large we will divide it into two with half visiting the museum first followed by the brewery/winery and the other half visiting the brewery/winery before the museum.
We will be meeting at MacArthur Plaza in Cabin John, Maryland at 7945 MacArthur Blvd (near the American Legion bridge) by 11:45 am to leave at noon. Please note: this is NOT the Cabin John Mall on Seven Locks Road.
