  This is an unusually valuable museum. It was assembled through private collections, and actually tells a coherent story with military relics from all major American wars, from Independence forward. I was very impressed to see uniforms, bullets, and weapons from the War of 1812 and the Mexican War, as well as an abundance of relics from the Civil War: the main focus of this museum. The survey of the Civil War is quite thorough and also quite good, with a wide selection of primary sources posted for meditation. Once you have made your way through the Civil War, the displays continue to WW1, WW2, and Vietnam. The proprietor of the place lives in the building, I believe. As a Virginian, he prefers his own land to New York and Boston. Who doesn't? You won't get any computer screens, movie-quality soundtracks, or holograms in this place, but you can handle genuine Civil War shells and bullets. They are also available for purchase.
