Really friendly and helpful staff. Large exhibit of artifacts from multiple wars. Definitely worth stopping by although the current location will be closing in the August 2024 timeframe.
Museum closed for the season when I came. Guy was nice though in the store.

Was here on the weekend and was completely blown away! Stayed across the street and had to come check it out. Owner was incredibly nice and welcoming, and his collection was next level. If you are a military historian or just a war lover, you have to check this place out!! Admission if very affordable too!
I really enjoyed seeing this museum the, collection of items is huge with unique pieces and so many items to look at it spans revolution through Korea. However I am giving the low rating because the museum is in serious need of upkeep. Many displays are growing mold inside and items seem to be falling apart from mold growth is very sad to see these great items deteriorate. The building also smells of mold which makes me wonder if it is even safe to be in the building. We went on a 98 degree day and I thought it would be nice to go in building and cool off but I think the only air conditioning is one window unit we were still sweating inside. There was only one employee and he was polite but seemed very weird and off putting. I was here as a you g adult and remembered it being much nicer. I hope they can get funds to clean and restore the displays and make it a five star experience again. If you really want to see a lot of unique military items it is worth the seven dollars, but I think your time is spent better elsewhere in Gettysburg and I'd skip this one, while it is a cool collection it feels depressing it seems no one cares about maintaining this museum. Even in the parking lot I know pavement is expensive but it wouldn't be hard or costly for someone to spray all the overgrown weeds. I hope they make improvements soon.
Fabulous place. Our guide Bill was a fantastic. Very knowledgeable and informative. The exhibits are numerous & quite extensive. Everything is original and authentic. Got to hold a civil war rifle and listen to history. The staff is great & we got our money's worth for sure. Their collection of world war 2 weapons and uniforms is amazing. One of the best experiences my family and I had in Gettysburg. They encourage you to take pictures too.
Fantastic private collection, with very friendly service by the owner! Having these pieces of history on display to the public is a treat, and it’s a must see for the area - be sure to look high and low; these are floor to ceiling displays from multiple wars that you’re sure to get lost in (with everything from Custard’s boots down to some comical WWII toilet paper!)
While in Gettysburg, PA, make SURE you take the time to stop by and see arguable one of the most AMAZING collections of authentic, “the real deal”
Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam items around!
I was so enraptured by what I saw traveling between the two floor’s worth of items that I neglected to snap pics of things! Yes, it truly is THAT incredible…including Jimmy Stewart’s uniform, Custer’s boots, General MacArthur’s pipes and sunglasses, and this is barely scratching the surface of what you will see!
Very friendly owner is willing to answer questions, discuss history, and is so genuinely appreciative of you stopping by!
Therefore…go see this museum while in Gettysburg! PERIOD!
