1944 Ford GPW Jeep Raffle

American Heritage Museum, Hudson, Massachusetts:

Preserving America’s Heritage, honoring those who served, Educating, and Inspiring Future Generations

The American Heritage Museum is housed in a 66,000 + square foot building located at the Collings Foundation’s headquarters in Stow, Massachusetts. The concept of the American Heritage Museum began when the Foundation was selected to receive the massive collection of tanks, armored vehicles and military artifacts from the family of Jacques M. Littlefield in 2013.

Eighty years after the greatest homecoming in American history, the stories of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and their families live on at the American Heritage Museum. Every field trip, every veteran visit, every living-history weekend helps a new generation understand that freedom has a real weight—and a real cost.

At the American Heritage Museum you explore America’s conflicts, beginning with the Revolutionary War to today. You’ll discover, and interact with, our heritage through the History, the national effort developing new technologies of warfare, and the Human Impact of America’s fight to preserve the freedom we all hold dear.

Built during the height of WWII, this Ford GPW Jeep is one of over 280,000 manufactured for the war effort. Born from America’s urgent call for a rugged, all-terrain vehicle, the Jeep became the backbone of Allied mobility. Today, it stands as a symbol of determination, ingenuity, and victory.

Previously owned by a collector and WWII enthusiast, this incredible Jeep was also signed by two famous WWII fighter pilots before their passing: Col. Francis "Gabby" Gabreski, a P-47 ace with the 56th Fighter Group, 61st Fighter Squadron and Capt. Louis Purnell, a Tuskegee Airmen who flew 88 missions with the 332nd Fighter Group, 99th Fighter Squadron.

Proceeds from the “Road to Victory” Sweepstakes support the American Heritage Museum’s mission to educate and inspire through unforgettable exhibits, interactive programs, and world-renowned living history events. Every entry helps us preserve and restore legendary aircraft, tanks, and military vehicles for generations to come.
