I had the opportunity to visit this museum for the first time yesterday, and it was pretty neat. They had a nice collection of weaponry ranging from swords and maces to guns, cannons, and bomb sell casings. They also had interesting exhibits on West Point's history as well as on some American history as well. A gift shop showcasing some nice items is also available to peruse. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit. Admission is free, but there is a suggested donation.
I liked the way the museum was organized, history of the academy, history of warfare, history of weapons, and history of the United States Army. While all intertwined, each of the sections had a focus which led to a better understanding of how events unfolded in each of the areas.
Great place to see what our country began with and grew to today. Shows everything from Revolutionary War to current, soldiers and their equipment. Great place of honor and history.
Amazing! A fantastic journey backward through time to all that made the U.S.A. the best country on earth.
Definitely worth the trip, especially for the the price of admission "FREE". Plan to spend at least 2-3 hours in the museum , Handicapped access is difficult due to the construction going on around the grounds and of the scenic views are blocked by construction, not much in the way of food in the area, the town is small.
