The museum has 85 display cases filled with personal stories, uniforms, artifacts, and treasured belongings of individual soldiers who fought for the US from the Revolutionary War to the present day. There's also a large collection of WWI and WWII posters in excellent condition that were found stored in an attic. An outdoor exhibit has tanks, planes and trucks but the gate was closed when we visited so we didn't see most of them.
We were given a personal tour before viewing the exhibits on our own. Our guide was a Vietnam veteran who worked in intelligence. He was well versed on the exhibits and an interesting storyteller.
The museum is accessible.
This is a Harvest Hosts site so we stayed overnight in the large lot next to the museum. Look for the Museum Parking sign. Museum 46.65435, -122.97877
