"A great museum to go to it is has so much stuff and they keep adding new things all the time directly from the Civil War they try to keep an accurate as possible they try to keep up to date things as they find them and get them it's so much to see there it actually took a while to go through it all and as I said they keep adding things from the last time we were there till the newer time that we were there each time we've been there and they've added more things and got more things and it is a very good one to even do some research yet too the staff there are very friendly and very helpful this is great for the whole family young and old it's good for people that are history Buffs and Civil War Buffs it's good for the whole family's young and old and you will learn the real stuff they really do try to help you out to find what you're looking for their website has some good information and stuff whenever you can do some research and you will be surprised what you can find there and that you'll see you'll learn a lot we do highly recommend a visit to here you will not be disappointed"
"Lots of great artifacts and information. The walk was gorgeous, well maintained, and most importantly manageable for my father. The buildings at the farm are amazing and well kept. Definitely worth the 25 bucks and 3 hours we meandered around for. Clean potties. Snacks and drinks available, and a waterbottle station in the main doors."
"We were cruising down the road with time on our hands so when we saw the sign we decided to go. Not all random stops are worth it but this was. I was most amused by the LOVE sculpture found out front of a war museum. We watched the film which I would highly recommend for its overview of what happened on the site of this farmland battlefield. The collection of artifacts and reading panels in the two story gallery and art in the halls were both informative and decorative. For the true historian following the outside markers on the battlefield might be of importance. I walked away with conformation that war is an ugly activity and although it may be true that there are heroes iand a winner there are many many losers"
"Stayed up the road from here had no clue about thos place or its history. Stopped by on the day we were leaving New Market and ended up being here for over 3 hours. The museum had a lot of interesting items and displays. The movie they played was informative and even the boys were interested in everything. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The little souvenir shop was responsibly priced. A great bonus spot while I was in Virginia."
"I have been here many times. I love this little area. Great place to chill out, learn some war history and take pics with friends and family. Museum is not too expensive to visit."
