Our visit
Dragonman’s is one of the best World War II collections the tours have seen: more than 3,000 guns, 80 military vehicles and hundreds of uniformed mannequins on 260 remote acres east of Colorado Springs.
Tours are led by Mel “Dragonman” Bernstein himself, and the collection is complete enough that it is worth planning a trip around. The tour video below is from the visit.
