When the Louisiana Museum of Military History closed down in about 2000 its collection of tanks moved to outdoor storage at the Lafayette Asphalt Company, which had previously provided workshop facilities to restore the museum vehicles. In about 2008/9 they were moved to the Mississippi Armed Forces Museum at Camp Shelby. (Source: Tanklord).
