Memorial Day 2021 is a day I like to remember and honor the people who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2021 at The Pratt Museum. The museum was closed but you could roam around the grounds and read the information placards around the museum. It was really peaceful walking around the Pratt Museum by myself. I even noticed the picnic tables and grill behind it. Information about the Pratt Museum: The Don F. Pratt Museum was established in 1956 as a division museum for the 101st Airborne Division. The museum's central theme is the history of the 101st Airborne Division, the "Screaming Eagles," and it covers the period from the early 1940s to present. Although the main museum theme focuses on the history of the 101st Airborne Division, there are also individual displays that address early developments in airborne warfare. Included in the displays are the following units: the 11th Airborne Division, the 12th Armored Division, the 14th Armored Division, the 20th Armored Division, the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team, the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne). An outdoor park across the street from the museum displays various military aircraft and equipment used by the division.

I visited 4-14-2021 around noon: The museum is on Fort Campbell, so if you're a civilian without military ID you'll need to check-in at the visitor center before going on base. Have your state ID or passport handy with current vehicle insurance and registration for a gate pass. The security at the gate and the visitor center were all very helpful and pleasant, but be ready to have the above documents and answer questions; they'll be doing their due diligence for base security to make sure your identity and liability coverage. The museum has a lot of military firearms and uniforms of the U.S. and our adversaries from various wars. There are a lot of aircraft and artillery on display across the street from museum.

Parking lot on site and parking is no cost. The museum runs off of donations and has a bathroom that is handicap accessible and has a diaper changing station. It was also very clean! The museum Itself is easy to navigate with a wheelchair or stroller. It has a lot of information and neat things to see regarding general history and the history of fort Campbell. There is a very nice gift shop at the exit that has books, tshirts, commemorative things that celebrate Army or fort Campbell itself. There are several areas outside within walking distance that serve as memorials including tied down aircraft and old artillery items. Totally worth it and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

This is an amazing place to visit. It is FREE to enter. There are many exhibits walking you through the history of the airborne military units with displays for each war/ conflict. There are displays about the changes in uniforms throughout the years. There are displays of enemy guns and uniforms. There are jeeps, military vehicles, helicopters, and a life size model of a plane you can climb into. There is a memorial fir 9/11 with pieces of debris from the towers inside. There are captured military artillery, planes, vehicles, and helicopters outdoors. There are monuments to those who have lost their lives outside. Absolutely recommend this place!! It's top- notch!

My husband is a Marine and a history buff. Son in law is an Army Iraq vet. We ladies and my two year old grandson learned a lot. Museum covers various wars, and has enemy displays and memorabilia. Also has a gift shop where we purchased a few items. Outdoor park across street has full size aircraft and other machinery you can touch and investigate. Spent almost two hours between attractions, and extra time having lunch at Panera's restaurant. Two year old loved the "choppers" flying occasionally overhead. Food places are scattered across the fort. Open free of charge to the public. Located on Fort Campbell, open to visitors but must have valid identification to enter.

This is a free military museum on Ft. Campbell army base, home to the 101st airborne and special avaition divisions. Stop at the welcome center by the front gate to get your pass. A nice museum with lots of displays inside and many static displays outside. Expect to see helicopters, planes, tanks, guns, etc. and much more. I easily spent 2.5 hrs there enjoying it. Check it out if you're in the area
