    Helpful and talkative people working there. The archivist? Interesting displays and relics. I especially liked the WWII relics.

    I have been several times. The exhibits are wonderful and amazing--the facility is larger than it looks from the outside. If you like military history (even if you don't), the exhibits don't...

    A very impressive museum with finely crafted, life size war zone recreations and displays! Very appealing and educative for every age! All displays highlight almost all the US military engagements from the time of American civil war until the Vietnam war! Many of the original equipments including a combat aircraft and a helicopter on display.
  • By Brook Radke
    Super, super amazing place to go on a field trip! The guide was informative, humorous, and natural. The displays were accurate, as well as incredible to admire.
