If you find yourself taking a road trip from Reno to Las Vegas Nevada, there’s a neat roadside attraction in the small Nevada town of Hawthorne that’s worth a look. Located on HWY 95 about 2 hours south of Reno, Hawthorne, NV is home to the Hawthorne Army Depot and a great little roadside pitstop, The Hawthorne Ordnance Museum. Staffed by veterans and other local volunteers, the museum showcases decades of historical munitions, in addition to other pieces of military history. It’s a great stop off for anyone with a taste for military or weapons history.
