Alfred Consigli was one of hundreds of spectators who came to see historic tanks rumble in circles through the mud at the American Heritage Museum on July 10, but it was also a trip down memory lane for the 97-year-old.
“I was a gunner on a tank, a sharpshooter,” said the Upton resident, who fought in World War II. “It’s nice,” he added, to see the same-model Sherman tank he rode still rolling seven decades later. “It’s a great thing they’ve got this museum.”
“Living history” is what the museum tries to recreate through programs like Saturday’s, a daylong tank demonstration that allowed visitors to watch the armored vehicles in action and even ride in them.
