World War I Tank
Used with Permission of Brian Southey, Bloomington Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Department

Six Ton Tank M1917 (RARE PIECE) This is the American version of the tank, OnlyI know of 7-8 or across the United States.  The M1917 Tank arrived in Miller Park on May 25th 1939 and Originated from the Rock Island Arsenal.  Tank was a “gift” sponsored by the local American Legion.
 
Bloomington Council October 8th 1942

The American Legion gave the council their blessing to sell the tank for scrap in order to help with the World War II scrap metal drive (confirmed by Council Proceedings and article from the Panragraph).    However the tank still stands today and there are no known writings of what changed from the original stance to sell the tank.
