This museum and its people are the real deal when it comes to preserving the stories and artifacts of the past, and educating younger generations about the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform. A beautifully presented museum made possible by hard work and history. Truly a gem, more than worth going a bit out of your way for if you’re not...
