I have been there several times. Once for a WW2 reenactment. Great location With plenty of roon. However I was disappointed with the museum. Wonderful collection on military items but very ltitle on the Pennsylvania unit. Thought that is why it is called the PA Military Museum.
Worth a look if you are interested in military history. Too bad there aren't more artifacts. The ones on exhibit are well maintained, but it does not take long to see everything.
Lots of really good displays here from numerous wars. Nice gift shop too. See the actual guns from the Pennsylvania outside. Wonderful walking area.
This museum is a wealth of information on the PA Military. I especially enjoy the many programs given throughout the year. World War II, Vietnam reenactments, plus History Through the Ages, Lectures, Civil War encampments
We spend a very nice afternoon at this museum. It was a great experience. It is a smaller military museum, but they have a good collection, and a lot of detailed information, including ties to Pennsylvania. The staff was very nice and friendly, and the prices very reasonable. The museum is laid out in an easy to follow pattern, starting with WW I information. Everything they have is in incredible condition. We found it very interesting and well worth the stop. The grounds are lovely as well. Would be a great place for a picnic or a nice walk while paying respects to the shrines and monuments located outside. if you have the chance, don't miss it. It is a local gem.
This place is surprisingly interesting, especially if, like me, you are interested in history but never studied a whole lot of military history. There is a lot more here, and it's a lot better presented, than what you expect of a small-town museum. I live nearby and enjoy taking out-of-town guests.
Even though the actual museum is on the small side-they need to update their 21st century conflicts-they are rich in sponsored activities throughout the year. We stumbled across their military timeline and the re-enactors were true to form. Take the time to walk through the 28th inf regiment shrine. It was thoughtfully laid out to reflect and appreciate.
Needing to kill some time before an evening wedding, we decided to go to the museum. Let me start by saying the grounds are absolutely beautiful. The exhibits were interesting. There were tanks and humvees and tents set up nearing the parking lot and service people available to discuss and explain the equipment. For someone interested in military history, this is a nice place to visit.
My husband and I stumbled into this museum on a very snowy day in February. We were some of the few people there and had a very personalized tour from a thorough and knowledgeable guide, included in the price of our tickets. The staff were friendly and the displays were well done.
It was a great sunny July day so we were able to take in all of the exhibits at a nice slow pace. What this place needs is an F 16. Or an A 10 but for what it is which in my opinion is the flip side of glorifying conflict and death...its not obnoxious or in your face
