Great museum a little off the tourist trail. Discover how the military has treated soldiers on the battlefield and at home. Gaze upon medical oddities and lots of Bones and body parts. AND see the bullet that killed Lincoln. For real. That bullet. Also President Garfield's spine vertebrae from his assassination. It's really an informative and low key museum. Friendly staff, too. Free parking!

Educational place where you learn much about how military need advanced technology. Also, there are items showing you the terrible parts of war. Re-arrangement of items would be nice to use space better. How can you not display Hooke's microscope ffs ! :)

I went here in the summer of 2017 and was amazed by the quantity of content. Although the museum is quite small, it has tons of exhibits and is free to enter. I spent about 2 hours viewing here and thought it was well worth going to. The staff were super friendly and there were no crowds to deal with.
