In a world of online games, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and limited face to face interaction among youth Freedom Vehicles Association builds a conduit to connects people, community and love of freedom by taking visitors back in time; teaching them to interact with their future. Retired military equipment and cutting edge instructional design are used to build fun interactive activities and displays that are engaging and enjoyed by all whether young or old.
For seven years Freedom Vehicles has been providing temporary events at schools and local parks where over half a million people have enjoyed learning about freedom, patriotism, and how to honor veterans. Each year since 2015 more than 50,000 people have come to the Freedom Vehicles Military Outpost a three day event at SCERA park in Orem. Freedom Vehicles could provide even greater value at a permanent facility, enabling it to continue its educational efforts year around. Our goal is to raise two million dollars, purchase land in Utah County, and build an indoor adventure park where we will use over 25,000 retired military items and 30 vehicles from WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, and Desert Storm, to build living history and escape room educational adventures. The name of this park will be Victory Park USA – America’s Military History Archive and Adventure Park.
