Restoration hardware
Grant County man may be retired from the Army, but still likes to play with Jeeps
PETERSBURG - Gereald Bland had no inkling that his decision to restore a World War II-era Jeep 25 years ago would lead to his buying and restoring enough military hardware to fill a museum.
The owner, operator, curator and chief tour guide at Top Kick's Military Museum on the outskirts of this Grant County town isn't disappointed that's the way things turned out, though.
"I enjoy meeting the veterans and other interested people who come in and take a look," said Bland. "I'll keep on adding items to the museum - but maybe I'll stop adding new buildings."
