The building was where Jeeps were invented and produced in the 1940s that were used to help win World War II.
PTL's Katie O'Malley visits the Heinz History Center where CEO Andy Masich introduces her to Gramps, the world's oldest Jeep. They are celebrating 85 years of the invention created right here in Butler County.
