Not my favorite museum I've ever been to. There were some pretty cool artifacts and the exhibit was quite big. But it just felt like it was more of a place for a school field trip than two adults with no kids.

Very educational! Nicely put together exhibits and short films throughout. A bit disappointing that the gallery on the first floor was closed until next year(Feb 2023). Lovely giftshop and place to eat on site.

An excellent museum. Beautiful scenery, a simple and efficient way to Travel through the American Revolution. Staff is passionnate, extremely nice and joyful ! They'll take you with them on this beautiful journey, full of discussion and modern displays. Battle reconstitutions, uniforms, artefacts, everything to let you wonder about History !

I came here sometime ago with a friend my daughter and my granddaughter. It was during the Hamilton exhibit and my granddaughter loved dressing up in colonial clothing and carrying her little Hamilton doll around town with her. I think it truly helped her feel that history was real and inspired her
