Museum of the American GI — Attraction in College Station

Very cool place. Very nice people. ALOT of well preserved history. Vehicles, tanks, weapons, uniforms, medals, dog tags, photographs, etc. So much cool stuff. I have passed by this place several times over the last 10years and FINALLY made the right decision to stop by. I'm so glad I did. The only thing that would of made this trip better, is if my family was with me. So much history from WW1, WW2, KOREAN WAR, VIETNAM, etc. There is also a section dedicated to Vietnam veterans and POW's/ MIA's. I went on a workday, after a work trip, so there weren't many people there. I was able to get in, have the whole place to my self, take my time, take pictures and get out. They had a bunch of magazines donated to the store, and I was able to purchase a bunch of them. There were hardback books there also, but they weren't ready for sale yet. The lady working the front desk also mentioned that in March, they would be doing a reenactment. They would be bringing out vehicles/tanks and cannons. Actually driving them around and shooting the cannons. I don't remember exactly, but I believe the entry fee was $14. Well worth it.! I hope to return in the near future with my family, so theu too, can enjoy the...

Wow! What a really cool place in College Station. I’ve been coming to town for testing at Texas A&M for years now and never knew this gem existed until my recent trip. If you are a WWI, WWII, or Vietnam War history buff then this place is a must see. They have lots of authentic memorabilia, uniforms, rifles, tanks, military vehicles, and even a helicopter. The owner/manager was really cool to talk to and had some really neat stories to tell about the vehicles they have and the history of the museum as well as the owners’ background. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this museum. If you’re in town please drop by and check this place out. They have some really neat vehicles to check out that actually work! From what I understand they do live demonstrations in March and November where you can even pay to ride in a tank! How cool is that?!?! I am hoping I can manage to line up my testing visits with one of these events to be able to ride in one of the tanks! Thanks to the owners for putting a lot of hard work into making a really cool museum to showcase some of our country’s...

Great unique museum and despite being on the smaller side, they had quite a bit to show and offer. They’ve got lots of tanks, uniforms, and other cool things to see. One of the services they offer with some of the tanks is the ability to scan a QR code and be redirected to see pictures of the inside of the tanks. Super cool, and definitely haven’t seen such a creative use of QR codes in a museum like that before. They also had a massive collection of women’s uniforms which blew me away and was unexpected. I really appreciated that section on the second floor.

Staff was very nice as well, and the gift shop has some unique offerings. I went on the day they had the US Camel Corp event, and I really hope they bring that guy back. He was very interactive, great at storytelling, and the camels he brought to the event were cool. It was a nice way to end my museum tour.

Overall, I’d say this place is worth checking out and worth the drive...
