Come check it out, and also visit the lovely park behind the Museum.

Also nice is the fact that you can get close (sometimes even inside) to the displays, as compared to some of the larger museums. A lot of local history and the NAS's contribution during WWII. There is also a cool little gift shop at the end (isn't there always) where you can pick up memorabilia. I would plan on spending an hour or so minimum - more if your really want to dig in to the displays & videos available. Great for the family & history/aviation buffs. PS - if you're there earlier in the day - check out the Flight Deck Diner for some good comfort food and displays of patches/aircraft models..

Bottom Line: A museum that represents the neat culture and history of Chincoteague and tells a…read moregreat story through interesting artifacts. I loved this museum! It was absolutely one of my favorite things about my trip to Chincoteague. This museum did all the things I think a great museum should do - invoke an emotional connection, educate and spark a curiosity to learn more. I was looking forward to visiting Misty in all of her taxidermy glory but she was just one of many heart-warming exhibits. Other than Misty, some of my favorite artifacts were the oyster plates, the toll calculator machine, a model of the steamer Chincoteague and the old mail sorting desk. I enjoyed the stories about the Chincoteague citizens too like Kirk Mariner, a local minister, historian and writer and Miles Hancock, a master decoy carver. Something that brought a smile to my face was the video or the citizens giving their first hand account of the 1962 Ash Wednesday storm. I'm so glad someone took the time to record those stories about the devastating storm. The people feature in the video are very endearing. There is much to learn at this museum like how chicken farming got its start and how seafood has played a major part in the economy. I didn't know much about the legacy of Misty so it was sweet to read more about the goals that followed her lineage. At $4 for an adult, I felt like this was a terrific way to spend and hour or so.

After being in this area multiple times and driving by this each of those times, I finally made it…read morea point to stop in. I honestly had no idea what this was until I decided to make a stop. In fact, when I pulled into the parking area I wasn't sure where to park as there are signs stating something about permits. I will say, and this is my only gripe about this place, is the price of admission. I think it's a bit high for what you are getting. But I guess you need to pay the bills for this. This place kind of takes you back in time. See, back before this area had roads connecting to each other and when shipping was a huge thing, they had to have patrols that would make sure everything was ok. These patrols would head out to save people on the high seas when the high seas were less than cooperative. Kind of a precursor of the Coast Guard. This location is on the National Registry of Historic Places. This was a quick museum visit, but that is partly because I was impatient and didn't want to use the video tour. They do have a tour where you call in and type in a code for an exhibit and it would give you the information, but you can also read a lot of it within on the information placards next to the items. Points of interest is the house itself, living quarters, equipment used and the highlight is the access to the beach. It's amazing to think that men, year after year, would come here and serve time protecting people. It was some really tight quarters and they never knew what the seas might hold for them. Tip, be careful if you head out to the beach. I had taken my sandals off to walk into the sand and something jabbed my toe. That made for a quick return for me. Before you do head back get a look at the view. It is beautiful.

Then you proceed to the main house where the rescuers lived and you're able to see and touch everything, which is amazing to me- there are very few things in cases. There is a number you can dial to hear a narration about a specific object or area of the house as you walk thru. The gift shop is full of lovely trinkets and they have bathrooms, which is very convenient for roadtrippers like myself. Great for everyone but small kids will need to be watched to ensure they don't grab and break anything, and that they don't fall down the narrow staircase.

I'm so glad we went - what a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon we had there!

Date of Visit: July 30, 2025…read more This was an unplanned stop on my road trip from Florida and what a surprise this place was. As I was going from Rehoboth Beach to New Castle I was wanting to take RT 9 north off the beaten path. As I was coming to the RT1/9 split I had traffic in front and behind and they seem to be in a hurry, Neil wasn't. So I pulled off the road at this place to let everyone by. As I came in thru the entrance the sign read "Free Museum" I says to myself "FREE" I need to check it out and glad I did... As I walked inside you have a really nice gift shop that you need to explore and support. The volunteers working were the best. Not sure where to start but as you enter the main area it is just loaded with WWII, Korean and Vietnam displays. Ever wonder how those belly and tail gunners worked, there is a display for that. I know I could not have done it. There is even a mock-up control tower to explore and listen to the base tower giving commands. On my visit I was able to see a C130 take off from the tower. If your ever in the area this is a must stop, especially if your a history buff. And at the end, please give these people a donation for a job well done. Peace.
