I go by St. Roberts every year on the way to Branson. This year I saved some time to stop and visit the engineering museum complex. Very well done and extremely fascinating and interesting. A better visit than 1969 when I was here for training.
We really enjoyed learning more about the Army Engineers. They had exhibits about the many things they do...bridges, buildings, and so much more. It was modern and well organized, and signage explained everything well.
This is a great place to see and learn about the engineer's. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Even after spending 20+ years around the engineers, we still had a lot to learn.
Impressed by the interactive nature of the museum. Well done
The three museums are located within the same building and can easily be seen all together. We spent roughly 1 1/2 to 2 hours touring after graduation. The Engineer Museum was probably the least favorite but it was still very informative and very well put together. There was actually a lot of great information to be learned and the time was well spent!
We spent about an hour looking through the three museums. There is no charge, but a donation box is available if you wish to give a dollar or two. I actually enjoyed the gift shops while the men in the family went through the displays. It was also cool to look at the pieces of military equipment located along the drive into the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you are in the area I would certainly suggest a side trip into the fort.
I enjoyed the layout, displays and history. I know the previous manager so got a very personal tour - finding out some details most visitors don't get to enjoy.
I'm a bit biased but this is well-worth one's time or bring the entire family. You won't be disappointed!
We were on base for our grandson's graduation and toured the base. This museum was a wonderful history of the part the engineers had in all the wars and in peace time. Not a history buff, it kept my attention. No charge but have donation jars and small gift shop.
This is one of three museums together at Ft. Leonard Wood Military Base. It was quite amazing to see how obstacles can be overcome with ingenuity and engineering. What a group of cool exhibits and photos of actually projects and missions. Very interesting how several challenges were overcome. Besure to take the time to see all three sections. They have great gift shops for all your souvenirs.
