WWII SHERMAN TANK BEGINS JOURNEY TO ITS LONG AWAITED RESTORATION
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
WOLFEBORO - The 35-ton Sherman Tank rolled quietly out of its hid- ing place in the garage at the Wright Museum of World War II History in Wolfeboro. The most prolific style of tank
used by the Allied Forces, in fight- ing on all fronts during World
War II, this massive Sherman was being loaded for transport to Milford, Massachusetts, where it was to be reunited with its newly fitted engine. “This Sherman Tank was the
pride and joy of David Wright,” said museum board member John Warner in talking about the late originator of the popular World War II museum. “It was
significant to the war and he was proud he acquired one. His widow, Carol, wanted to get it running and on display.” Wright had acquired the Sher-
man Tank sometime in the 1990s in Gilmanton Iron Works. The son of a WWI veteran, Wright served as a Marine in the Korean War. His childhood memories were of See TANK on 24
signed to allow children to learn about and explore the natural world using hands-on activities and play. A popular session, Wild Art, returns this summer for two ses- sions. Educators from the Cur- rier Museum Art Center and the Science Center will help children explore two and three dimensional media by discovering the rich vari- ety of plant and animal life at the Science Center.
