PROS: plenty of free parking; some free exhibits but the main exhibit has a fee; right beside the Kenosha Public Museum and the History Museum and Lighthouse from across the dock; the Kenosha tram has a stop right outside of the building. CONS: may not be too interesting for some people and children; there are more interesting museums within a 5 minute drive ; a very quick stop if you have time.

Fun for the kids, they liked it. Lots to see! Really a great hidden museum! Fun for teens, great location.

This museum is spectacular! It's a lot of amazing exhibits and information. It's great for the whole family, interactive exhibits and scenes to really explain how life was during the civil war

The price is right and if you are looking for a little bit of history the Civil war museum is a good deal.

It's in a good location, and I enjoyed the experience. Not much else to say. I have a condo in the area, so it's convenient for me. If you get the chance, and are out of town, this is well worth an hour or two of your time.

OK for school aged children. Has some interesting artifacts, but have visited actual Civil War battle sites with museums where it was much more interesting.

Only been there once, but MUST go back and see the things I had to go by too fast. Big, imaginative displays, videos, wonderful memorabilia and the feeling you were right there with the soldiers and the locals involved. A real must for any visitor (or resident) of Kenosha, WI!

Although the interactive Fiery Trial and the 360 movie, Seeing the Elephant are exceptional, I found the Veterans Memorial Exhibit inspirational. The veterans' artifacts from each war was educational, but the Solidarity of Soldiers portion of the exhibit took my breath away. Life size soldiers from all the wars were around a campfire, as if it was the end of the day involved in seemingly intimate conversations, was eerie. Being able to walk among group soldiers made me feel was part of the part of the camaraderie of the soldier across time. I highly recommend this free exhibit. Work to enhance veteran artifacts, I am sure, is an ongoing process.

Yes, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Why? Because the focus is on how the War Between the States affected the Upper Midwest, which sent 750,000 men to serve in the army but, perhaps more importantly, how the Upper Midwest also provided much of the food and raw materials necessary to sustain the Union Army.Believe it or not, this is the third largest Civil War museum in the country. It focuses on the impact the war had "back home," and special exhibits pay tribute to lingering affects of the war. (A Ku Klux Klan hood is the exhibit where the display glass gets the most fingerprints, according to the museum director.)There are two major permanent exhibits: The Fiery Trial, and Seeing the Elephant.The Fiery Trial is an exhibit in the round, almost, except that you can't just go around in a circle -- there are too many side trips to make, too many things to see. This exhibit displays Civil War artifacts and other things that were important to the area."Seeing the Elephant" was the term used by those who went off to the war after they had been in battle. It's also the title of this most unusual exhibit: a ten-minute, 360º film. The film focuses on the lives of three men as they go off to war. The brief skirmish is the climax of the film, and it is awesome. There is enough footage in the film to make a conventional three-hour movie. This alone makes a trip to this museum well worth it.There is also the excellent, 600-piece Frank A. Palumbo collection, including 36 rare lithographs, photos, paintings, arms, a travel trunk collection, uniforms, and a doctor’s amputation kit. This collection is on permanent loan from Carthage College in Kenosha.Bear in mind that this is not a battle scene museum; this is not Gettysburg. But Gettysburg, and Antietam, and Shiloh, and other battles were fought by men who came from somewhere -- and that somewhere included Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.And the admission prices are modest.Come see this museum. You won't be disappointed.

If you're looking for somewhere to visit in Kenosha, and you're interested in history - especially the Civil War that torn our country apart, then look no further - Kenosha Civil War Museum is the choice. Wonderful collection with lots of informative display and videos, with professional team of staffs that is ready to help. Very interactive, even for families with children.
