West Point Museum ๐
๐ธ๐Over the New Year weekend, I stumbled upon the West Point Museum! For seasoned fans of American TV shows, history buffs, or anyone interested in understanding American military culture and development, this is a must-visit. It also gives you a deep dive into how West Point Academy trains its officers. ๐ธ๐ The West Point Museum is located in upstate New York, near the Hudson River, about an hour's drive from New York City. We happened to be staying nearby and found ourselves there while exploring the area. You can find the address in the comments below. ๐ซ Admission: Free ๐ ฟ๏ธ Parking: Free โ๏ธ Opening Hours: 9:30 AM - 4:15 PM, closed on Mondays Tourist Tips: The museum is divided into two main areasโthe Visitor Center and the Main Museum Building. ๐ช Visitor Center: It features a video presentation room and an exhibition introducing West Point Military Academy, along with a souvenir center. I highly recommend watching the video first to get a quick overview of the academy's history, development, and current training methods for American officers. Inside, you'll find displays of their values, curriculum, daily schedules, and even a model of their dormitory rooms. ๐ธ๐ After the tour, I was genuinely impressed by the rigorous training of future military personnel, covering physical fitness, mental strength, and scientific skills. #NewYork ๐๐
