    This is a very interesting museum

    We happened to find this place because we were looking for a place to hold a fund-raiser for a family whose patriarch was dealing with cancer. I could not believe how much information and special exhibits were in this museum. I asked the owner, Lee,...More

    So much history in one place.

    We stopped in on our way through and it did not disappoint. 'Chief' gave us a tour. He was wonderful. Lots of information and stories. It's a hidden treasure for sure. A must see.

    surprisingly good

    It has an amazing number of items on display with daily arrivals and many more waiting to be displayed. The volunteers are so knowledgeable and take as much time as you want to talk about the displays. GREAT place to visit

    Historic collections of memorabilia donated to represent the historic commitment of this museum with rich history.

    Visited the museum by accident but it had so much meaning, I have talked about it to many. It is in a local neighborhood, a very small museum but rich in history.

    Met by staff who enjoyed telling their stories in a way that engaged all that entered. Many artifacts from different wars in amazingly great condition. Wonderful place to support and visit. No admission fee but donation recommended.
