(Rock Island, IL) -- A ribbon-cutting will be held tomorrow for a new exhibit at the Rock Island Arsenal Museum.

One of three remaining World War I-era Mark VIII Liberty tanks will go on display.

The restored tank was built at the Arsenal in 1919, but never saw action in the war as it ended in November 1918.

The ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Tuesday.
