Amazing military museum. It has so much information about the military actions but also tells the stories of some of the people. The tanks outside are awesome and so good for kids who need to run, jump and touch! The grounds are so peaceful! You pay per the carload to get into the park but then the museum is free.

Visitor notes
We spent several hours here! I took my 2 adult sons and adult daughter. They climbed on the tanks, toured the museum, walked the flower gardens and we enjoyed a mimosa
A must go to destination in nice weather. The tanks are displayed in a tree lined courtyard and yes, the children can climb on them. The 1st Division museum didn't disappoint either. Weapons and uniform displays covering the greatest of battles.
I met my family here for family photos. We came in four different vehicles so of course the first thing we noticed was the price. It was a very beautiful, nice place to visit. It just seemed very pricey. The weather was nice. Colors were okay. We've been here before to walk around when the scouts used to camp overnight. So we've seen the tanks. Everything was so peaceful and enjoyable. If the price was more appropriate, I think I would have given it a five star
Such an Awesome place! They have plenty of information to answer all of those questions you have boiling up in your head! The inside is well kept and show what these units and this specific division had done. Tank park is amazing! They have at least a dozen tanks ranging from WWI all the way up to modern day with an M1 Abrams! Would definitely go there again when I get the chance!
The tank park has one of the only M1 Abrams on display, and probably the only M1A1 one can climb on. As well as an WWI American-made Renault as well as several WWII and Cold War tanks. The indoor exhibit is not bad. It is much smaller than the likes of the Museum of the US Army in Virginia and almost all artifacts in display are commonly found like Humvee doors and Irqi uniforms, with the exception of a Medal of Honor for a private. Don't expect a comprehensive history lesson, but it does talk about some of the human costs and benefits of military deployments including but not limited to combat, and encourages citizen engagement in voting
I cannot believe that I had never been here before! This place rocks! Beautiful grounds, outstanding exhibits and very modern clean building. The tanks outside are a super treat for the little ones. Visit during Spring or Summer so you can enjoy the amazing grounds and flowers.
Very nice world war 1 museum and estate. Well kept and good trails. All the tulips and most of flowers were in bloom so it made it all worthwhile to visit. Very beautiful and had lot to see. Wish I knew sooner this place was so close to home. Will visit again. Since they had May fest going on, parking was little bit more on Saturday.
