This museum is an absolute treasure. It offered so much more than I never expected to see…read more Overall, it could use a little sprucing up and the opening video feels like it was likely made in the 1980's and has not been updated since. Of course, the information is all from the 1940's, so it is all still totally accurate. But still, it is the one lame element. After sitting through the video on the very small television, also likely from the 1980s, just set out and explore all of the items. Hundreds and hundreds of items to see. Uniforms, vehicles, clippings, weapons, you name it and they have collected it. At times I found myself just staring at something and thinking that I cannot believe I am face to face with something I have heard about in history books. You can spend a good hour here, and a true history lover perhaps two.
