motts military museum印象

This museum is the work of one man who has pulled together a collection of military artifacts from the Civil War to todays battles in Afghanistan and Iraq. To view it is like rummaging through an old trunk that has been stored away in the attic for over fifty years. Each piece has a story behind it. Go out back and you will find some of the heavy stuff, the mobile howitzers, choppers, etc. An off-road attraction worth visiting.

Frankly, Mott's Military Museum doesn't look like much from the outside. But looks can be deceiving. The interior is larger than one would expect, and it is filled with military memorabilia from our nation's many wars. The collection is impressive, having both breadth and depth. It captured and kept my attention. Indeed, I stayed much longer than planned. And even so, I plan to go back, as there is far too much to absorb in just one visit.It is obvious that all involved with the museum deeply care about preserving and sharing the nation's military history, and honoring those who have served. Speaking of whom, if you have the time make it a point to talk with one or more of the volunteers. The ones I met were all veterans. They are friendly and knowledgeable, will point out interesting artifacts you might miss otherwise, and share historical trivia and stories that make the events associated with the museum's collection come to life. Well worth the $5.00 admission fee and whatever time you are able to invest.

This is a little off the beaten path, but it is a classic example of one man trying to retain as much of physical history as possible. It's a great place to go to remember and honor the past.

A very impressive inventory of very unique artifacts dating from the beginning of American military history to current operations. Take advantage of the knowledgeable volunteers. They can help you understand the significant and uniqueness of their collection. If you are going in a group, request a tour. It is well worth your time!

Wow! My husband and I are both museum/history buffs, and for $5.00 this place is worth way more than that! Motts has a plethora of military memorabilia - starting from the civil war onward. I was also impressed by the volunteers and their vast knowledge! The vast amount of items will definitely hold your attention! Make sure to visit the replica of the Eddie Rickenbacker home, which is located beyond the aircraft/other military vehicles out back. A fantastic place, would visit again!

This man has a passion! This is Warren Motts' personal collection he has amassed over his lifetime. You will be amazed at the variety of items he has!

This is a little place off of south Hamilton Road. It is small but they have TONS of military items on display from weapons, to uniforms, and everything on between. There are even some military vehicles in the back that you can look at. It was 5.00 to get in and look at all the stuff. Worth it I thought. It take about 1/2 hour - 45 mins to check everything out.

Mr. Mott has done a remarkable job - there is a truly amazing collection of items on display in a relatively small space. We took our two high-school age grandsons there on an outing and weren't sure how interested they'd be [although they had checked out the website - which is very nice, by the way - first]. They were very interested, appreciative and respectful and gave each display careful attention. Later, they both thanked us for taking them there. It was handy having "young eyes" with us, because [and this is my only criticism], the displays are packed and some of the descriptive cards are difficult to read due to distance from the glass and lighting issues. I would say that unless a child is really interested in history, this wouldn't be suitable for a child under 12 or so, but adults and serious teens would definitely appreciate it. Allow at least two hours - preferably more - for your visit.

The number and variety of objects there was amazing. Surprising new additions were the 9/11 items (including a firetruck). The volunteers were often retired military personnel who bring to life the stories with their own interesting details. I was pleasantly surprised at how much they have!

The care and detail, the stories told, and the feelings stimulated leave one to wonder... What is man thinking? How did we come to create such uniforms, tools, weapons, maps, et al. MOST IMPRESSIVE
