If you like American history this is a must stop! This museum documents so much Civil War naval history that is not taught in schools.

This museum really has the ‘wow’ factor. There are lots and lots of artifacts here including the biggest flags I’ve ever seen. What stunned me were the remains of the ironclad CSS Jackson which are absolutely huge and in a massive hangar by themselves. It’s a really dramatic sight, even though only some of the wooden hull remains, but you get a real feeling for how big those vessels really were. There are also modern mock-ups of the Hartford and Albermarle which you can walk through. On the upside there are good facilities and good parking but I didn’t see any staff or docents on the floor so there was no opportunity of asking questions, plus there are no café facilities. However the whole building is very accessible for wheelchair users and buggies. The replica of the White Witch outside was closed for maintenance, but it was Christmas so that’s fair enough. Check out the wonderful wall paintings which are fantastic and give a real idea of the many and varied vessels that were in use during the Civil War. This is a must-see for history fans.

You can really spend alot of time in this museum. We attended with our family of six that included children aged from 7 to 19. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting the area. The exhibits are lifelike and take you through a wonderful journey of history and our soldiers.

We really enjoyed this facility. It is tucked away on a bluff overlooking the river. The exhibits were first rate. I really enjoyed seeing the variety of flags that actually flew above civil war ships. The facility was clean, nice bathrooms and a well stocked book shop with great titles. For any civil war nut like me this is a must. I learned quite a bit.I did not care much for the city but do not let that deter a visit.

Good museum interesting in that it has items that we don't get to see since we are so far from the coast.

We drove to Columbus from Washington DC to see this museum, and just loved it. We saw mention of it while visiting the Natural History Museum in San Diego back in February, but couldn't get here before now (11/2014). It was well worth the trip. Great staff, stunning collection of artifacts, rare cannon, models and dioramas. We came back the next day to browse the gift shop and book selection. We came for this museum, but stayed for the Infantry Museum which we also enjoyed thoroughly.

My husband and I travel a lot in our retirement. We like to seek new places to visit as we travel some of our frequent road trip areas, in this case the Florida Panhandle to our home in western Pennsylvania. Using TripAdvisor and AAA Guidebooks, I then suggest places we haven't explored before. This is a wonderful and unexpected treasure for anyone interested in Civil War or Naval history. Beautifully organized and well developed, it should be seen by old and young to expand knowledge of the the Civil War Era. We will stop here again when in Columbus, GA.

The displays were well done. We learned there were so many more wartime vessels other than the Monitor and Merrimack.
-
Displays were well arranged and the staff was very helpful in answering our questions. We will certainly return.

If you are a history buff like me, this is well worth the visit. ?not a lot is written or talked about civil war era naval except for the ironclads, so this filled in a lot of gaps.
