Arrived just after 10AM in late April on a Sunday. Bldg was all locked up. Called and the answering service told me they don't open until Memorial Day (close after Columbus Day.) Wanted to share so no one else made a trip only to be disappointed. Also, there is only street parking, prepare to walk or drop off your passengers then walk. Hopefully in the future the google reviews/overview will update the business hours.

An amazing museum with outstanding, historical, "one-of-a-kind" arms exhibits and uniforms! We had a personal tour by Col. Rob Beebe who provided fascinating background knowledge of the displays and their history -- his passion and enthusiasm for the Artillery Company is awesome - worth the trip just to hear his narratives! KEEP UP THIS INSTITUTION!
