I enjoyed the artifacts. It would be better if they offered a guided tour

Our our was with Al and he was awesome. He was very informative and fun.
Take the tour!!! There are many exhibits and a tour guide will walk you through each one and give you details that the exhibits alone will not describe. Absolutely enjoyed and we were fascinated by the discourse of our tour guide Al. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Went there and place was closed. No sign, nothing on website, and nothing on Viator site. Expecting $ back
Not a huge government run museum. Rather, a group of dedicated volunteers have put together a pretty good history of war involving the U.S.A. From the war of 1812, the Civil War, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam and more current engagements such as Desert Storm and Operation Enduring Freedom. Pretty good displays and story boards as well as a large reference museum on all things military. You’d need about 1.5 hours to make your way through. Admission was reasonable ($14 for an adult, discounts for seniors/veterans). Everyone was helpful in terms of explanations and if you had questions.
The museum is informative regarding the United States involvement in military wars around the world.
Real and raw. The museum is of all American wars in a timeline. My husband loved it. I have so much respect for our soldiers.
We thought the museum was very interesting. It starts with the Revolutionary War through the Viet Nam war. Many interesting exhibits. Probably not for young children as they might be bored. Some of the exhibits need some signage but other than that, we would recommend it.
Not accepted in the event place . We brought again ticket there . Raised for dispute . Waiting for the refund
Very interesting museum. Well organized and very informative. The guys at the reception desk were amazing. Highly recommend!
The donated articles and displays are very interesting. Our tour guide Al was phenomenal as he recounted all military conflicts our country was involved in while also correcting some recorded fallacies of familiar historical events. Were there 2 hours. Well worth the admission price and a generous donation to Al for his free, energetic, and thorough tour.
Meh, if war fascinates you this is the place to be I guess. I thought it was expensive. However, my grandsons (13 & 9) were quite engaged. Mostly it made me sad to think of all those young lives lost. War should t be glorified.
Astonishing with a lot of history indeed, surprising to see the use of lime and salt use for the fallen soldiers - it corresponds culturally, wow - closer than you can think…,, would visit again
Our family had a great time. The curator was enthusiastic and well informed. He was really helpful answering questions. The museum is well organized chronologically and strikes a good balance between honouring our soldiers in all conflicts and interest in physical pieces. This is a great resource for homeschool families! They have a good resource library for members. We will be back. Thank you.
Very educational, informative and interesting. My husband really enjoyed it. We’re glad we went to visit the place.
For all who enjoy history this is an amazing display of military warfare. From the Revolutionary war forward there is something to see.
Very interesting and neat experience of military history. Multiple variations of artifacts and things are in chronological order
Nice collection but seems like a garage sale hodge podge of stuff. I think it was cool that some items were signed by those that served in those wars.
Seeing the excitement all over my 10-year-old son’s face! He loves anything military and this place is a military lovers dream!
It was simple to enter. The people were friendly and very well informed. The place had a lot to see. Worth the price.
This was an authentic, chronologically organized museum. We enjoyed the exhibits and most of all our guide Al. He was funny, knowledgeable and really connected with us. He brought some real value to the experience. Great job Al. Lori
Tour of the facility was offered by Ed which we accepted. He was a most entertaining story teller which certainly made the exhibits mean much more. The building is not huge but the exhibits are interesting and I found the visit worthwhile.
Museum is small but lovingly put together. Try to get a volunteer guided tour - our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining.
We visited this military museum how it describes and what you see is little different i as military would say above exelent it so well layout and covers so much of individual people who in there service for the flag and nation did so much it covers different nations including UK the staff are very friendly people don't realise how much effort go behind this it was an honour to go there it put our job as military in to paspetive I will definitely go back when I next there
Arrived right at opening, we were the only people there for 30 mins. Infirmative displays, many relics. Great for war history buffs.
While this is a small museum it was just packed with artifacts. There was a docent who gave a guided tour that lasted almost 2 hours. He He will accept tips, but obviously loves it. My friend and I are pretty well-versed on US military history and we learned some things. I saw several things that had never seen in a museum before.
Very interesting for our whole family, even the kids! I really recommend this for families. Its a must see when in town!
If you're into history or military history, then this is the please to go. From the start of the Civil War to the sands of Desert Storm, you will find memorabilia of all types. We were informed that items were with donated or on loan. Whether with a guide or roaming on your own be prepared to be in awe of all the wonderful items on display. You are encouraged to take pictures and we did
This was awesome. We loved the specialized tour we received from veteran and volunteer to the museum AL. My husband being military especially loved the history and accuracy of this place. Would recommend to anyone who is or was military or just a history buff in general!
Every era from the revolutionary was to the war in Afghanistan and Iraq! Way to much to mention in the review. From vehicles to weapons to uniforms, dioramas even a tank! Admission is very reasonable for what is available here!
As a veteran and a history buff. I enjoyed it . Any place that honors our veterans has my support. The older gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and polite. I wish they had more souvenirs to buy with their name on it. I got a magnet and sticker.
An awesome museum of military memorabilia You can spend hours reading, listening to videos and exploring each display
Amazing museum. The docent was extremely knowledgeable and gave lots of interesting side information. Have told lots of friends and neighbors and given out the brochures I brought from museum. Linda Gray and Bob Martin
When I get there to the museum They give me hard time to accept my ticket.... I would rather get a ticket there
A well-laid out museum with separate sections for each of the (many) wars in which the US has been involved. Lots of genuine articles, weapons, uniforms (inc those of enemy combatants) models, photos, diagrams, notes. Old ‘LIFE’ magazines from during WWII. Much genuine military surplus to buy also medals, badges, patches. If you take your time to examine everything, you’ll be here for a while. Pretty inexpensive.
Great little museum to explore the military history with a lot of stories from local folks. Good size library to do research or jst to read. The staff will answer any questions. We enjoyed the time there. Worth a stop.
The history of American War and under 1 hour. I strongly suggest you take the tour. Al our tour guide was an actual veteran very knowledgeable. I could not have left this museum with the knowledge I received in such a short time without taking the tour. What makes this museum unique is that all of the actual artifacts are real, not replicas, or reproductions, that actually saw wartime battle action. So if you're in American history buff I highly recommend you stop by and check it out.
Compact and very interesting museum with lots of exhibits to look at. Also excellent information given by Al who came round with us and talked us through many of the exhibits and items on display, he was fantastic. A very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours
Small by most museum's standards, the MOMH still managed to present a good overall picture of the different US wars by skillful use of pictures, letters, arms, weapons, and videos. A very knowledgeable tour guide was on hand to answer questions. Americans have fought in many wars and this museum did an admirable job in exposing us to all the conflicts. Time was well spent at this attraction.
The museum has some interesting artifacts and historical pieces but the layout is somewhat confusing and the their is little provided to put the collection in context or to present a historical narritive to the displays. Much of the collection is made up of uniforms, personal items, small arms and models. The only military vehicles on display were a couple of jeeps, a humvee and a mounted gun car. The museum has a nice military theme library with books covering all American military conflicts. The presentation could be greatly improved with a little more curatorial attention. Nevertheless the Museum of Military History is worth a stop if you are into the subject. Allow at least one hour to see the collection.
The museum has only a few armored and military utility vehicles, besides a variety of memorabilia and scale models. It has a library too It is an interesting option for a quick stop (1-2 hours)
This Museum covers all wars and has guided tours that are free the displays are informative and well done. Al was our tour guide he had some very interesting stories from all the wars. This is a must see we went back through the museum twice. There are some hands on displays like the Jeep and some Military articles for wearing and taking pictures. We spent about 2 hours here and could have spent more. Parking is free and it was only 7,00. There are Military items on consignment that were very reasonably priced and some great memorabilia.
