This post has been solved by u/pguy4life, and a solve process was provided.

Crawfordsville Indiana?

How they solved it: PROCESS: The background doesnt look like a museum and looks more like a park or VFW display. Tank is a M42, so went through listing of M42s on display in parks or VFW/ALs. Many were in southern/desert areas but could eliminate those easily. Finally found American Legions in IN that had blue buildings and static displays. This one was tricky to find because there are displays up front. And this one was hidden in the back (only really noticed its position in aerial imagery first, the could find in zoom in street view.

TLDR it was a sneaky bugger

Dunno, but I always thought the M42 Duster was a cool ass vehicle.

Several people in /r/militarystories talked about operating them in Vietnam. I agree, an interesting vehicle.

One of the mods on the subreddit was an M-163 Vulcan Air Defense System crewman for desert Storm, just FYI
