The Military Vehicle Technology Foundation is a large collection of military vehicles located in Portola Valley, California. It was founded by the late Jacques Littlefield, and now is under the direction of Bill Boller.
The Foundation was established in early 1998 to serve the interests of authors, historians, educators, the defense industry, veteran groups, model makers and the entertainment industry. Littlefield's major objective for the Foundation was to preserve the collection for the future.[2]
The collection is very large, surpassing many national military museums in both quality and quantity. Over 200 armored fighting vehicles are present in the collection.[3]
The foundation offers tours of its collection. Scheduling information can be found on its website.
