What visitors say
Update: the second floor remains closed, so the museum doesn't take very little ng to go through, but still very worthwhile. The gift shop has really upgraded what it sells since I was last there. Beautiful native American art and more.…
Museum is closed during government shutdown. But you can still get on post and see some signs outside the museum that provide historical info.
Interesting place. Free with good exhibits. If you don't have military ID you can still go, you just need to stop at the ID office to get a pass. Took about 5 minutes.
