I thought the place was extremely neat overall. The reason for the missing star is that I was denied service on something. As a collector of these sort of items, I was thrilled to see a sign saying that some of what was on display was for sale. When I asked about it, I was told that nothing on display was for sale and i would have to check the website. Maybe I'm confused, but if I was denied service because of my youth, I'm quite upset. To provide some context, im a month short of 18. Anyhow, besides the customer service, I think it was a neat museum with tons of cool stuff to check out. Edit: I feel it's quite evident I wasn't allowed to purchase merchandise because of my young appearance. I checked the website, and most of the stuff on display was for sale there. I can say that although the stuff is unbelievably cool, they lost a customer. I would've most definitely purchased from them, but basing who you are and arnet willing to at least show around based on age is downright crude.

This place is really cool. It is also free donations are recommended. They have stuff from the civil war along with other wars. Things from past presidents. So much packed into her and a lot of stuff is for sale. They have as seen on tv signs here. I guess the American picker guys have been here . They also have a small gift shop located in the back. Definitely recommend this place. Kids may find some stuff cool. Would definitely recommend going without kids so you can really take it all in. They have so much to see and read about. A must for any history enthusiast. I would say they had the biggest collection we saw while in Gettysburg.

Incredible pieces of history from various time periods, mainly the Civil War and WWII eras. There is also a room entirely dedicated to JFK and a corner with Lee Harvey Oswald. Recommend to dedicate 45-90 minutes to read most displays and look at just about everything. My fiancé and I spent about 75min total, with about 15min looking to purchase a relic by the front desk. Staff was also very friendly. Free to public. Make a donation to support operations as they are not funded by federal or state.

Really enjoyed this campground! The petting farm was really cool and the staff was nice. There wasn’t much to do in the area, everything is a drive… but good vibes here :-)

Saw the great reviews and decided to visit as I have a couple of hours to burn. Not sure what to make out of it. It is rather small and crammed. I will not say I gained much real knowledge from my visit. Wanted to buy some souvenirs from the gift shop. They do not come with boxes for the cups / glasses I was eyeing to bring back but was told they only provide plastic bags. Decided to just get one cup as I’m not sure if the items can survive the long haul back home.
