I was really excited to come here. I left with a lump in my throat and a very heavy heart. We didn't learn all the facts in school. The area of the museum is beautiful. We walked along the river and flew kites in the park! BEAUTIFUL!

Very cool experience. Highly recommend checking this out. The experience was amazing. The artifacts and the story attached to some of the items are priceless. I could have spent all day here taking it all in. Definitely plan on 2 hours at least but don't rush through it. Very cool to see pieces and stories from both sides of the war.
