"Lots of interesting history to read/learn about here!"
"Interesting to see for a bit of military history. Some unique pieces that you don't see everywhere."
"Some interesting artillery pieces from around the globe, dating back about 100 years. A couple pieces were missing, but it's interesting to see some of the more odd-ball designs that didn't make it past the prototype stage. If you want to kill 30 minutes on base, definitely worth a gander."
"We took our boys there to learn some history. They really liked seeing the military tanks."
"This is a military base so you have to register at the MP check in building, I didn't know that but it didn't take long to do & honestly they can't just let anyone just drive in so I understand that. We stopped at the Atomic Cannon & the other artillery pieces. I was so excited to stand by a Sherman Tank there of the 4th division in the Battle of the Bulge the very same tank, division & battle my grandpa was in, when I was little I remember him telling me stories of how driving a tank was easier than driving a car & of his first tank being hit & destroyed he & his company made it out alive,they were assigned to a new tank, he was only 18 years old then"
