  • This is just two rooms of my 75,000 sq. ft. military museum. We have a room for every major country The U.S. was in war with from WW1 through Afghanistan.
    If you'd like to see this privately owned museum, we give tours every Sunday starting at 10am (make sure you're here by 10am) until November.
    If you have 20 or more people, you can book a private tour on the weekday. If you'd like to put your name down to be added to a weekday tour, give us a call and we'll see what we can do!

He can't talk much about it cause he isn't allowed and some he just doesn't want to. Alot of the guys who have served over there don't get enough recognition.

    This is amazing thinking of it I have never heard of this type of museum. God bless our Fighting men and woman your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
