I'm very excited to visit the LeMay Museum when it is completed. Last week, 10 years after Harold E. LeMay’s death, the museum he imagined near Tacoma, finally broke ground for its arched glass building, part of a complex budgeted at $100 million.
The new space will showcase some of the LeMay collection of more than 3,000 cars, the largest of its kind, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
The showcase building will exhibit about 500 cars and be part of a complex on nine acres with retail, dining and entertainment facilities.
The groundbreaking was the occasion for beginning a $9.5 million fund-raising effort to complete the museum, which is scheduled to open in 18 months.
David, my son Ben and I will roadtrip to Tacoma when this opens -- can't wait.
