Indiana Military Vehicle Preservation Association

The Indiana Military Vehicle Preservation Association is a non-profit, family oriented club, established for the sharing of ideas and fellowship pertinent to the hobby of restoring, preserving and enjoying military vehicles of all types.  Ownership of a military vehicle is not required.  Our meetings are open to the public and visitors are welcome.

Our meetings are open to the public so if you are interested in what you see or what you've heard about us, please stop in and introduce yourself.  If you would like to join, download an Indiana MVPA application and either mail it in or bring to the next meeting.  Our affiliated parent organization, the international Military Vehicle Preservation Association can be joined by downloading the International MVPA application and mailing it in.  Please note that we are separate but affiliated organizations and joining one doesn't include the other.  

We can tell you the current version of the club is about 18 years old, re-formed in 1994.  Originally, our club dates back to 1962!  More details to be published once we get them sorted.
