JM Coull begins work on the Collings Foundation’s American History Museum
Stow, MA JM Coull (JMC), along with ahp Architects, has started construction on the Collings Foundation’s American Heritage Museum. On 70 acres, the new 65,000 s/f institution will be dedicated to military history throughout the 20th century.
Established in 1979, the Collings Foundation’s goal is to enable visitors to learn about the country’s heritage through “living history” events and interaction with historical artifacts. The new museum will be home to a number of exhibits from the country’s past military conflicts, and will house the United States’ largest private collection of vehicles from these events.
“We’re very excited to have finally begun work on this historical project,” said project manager John McDermott.
