Reviews
"An amazing museum with tons of history! Great docents that are prior military and super fun to talk to!"
"The Hawthorne museum is the most thorough ordnance museum we've ever been to! It's literally packed full of every single type of ordnance you can imagine. Both my husband and I are Navy Veterans that worked in the ordnance field so seeing it all in one place was definitely right up our alley! The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the displays are well thought out and easy to follow. The local history displayed was perhaps the greatest history lesson of all! We never knew Hawthorne held the secrets it holds!"
"Meant to go in for 10 minutes to buy a magnet - I was running late and they were closing soon. 40 minutes later I was engrossed in a conversation with a trio of delightful gentlemen who were thrilled to walk around the museum with me (come to think of it, they didn't even ask my permission) and tell me about every exhibit. Worth every minute of it and I am so glad I stayed. This place isn't even an "if you're in Hawthorne" - it's a "make the detour and visit" kind of gem. Free, too! Also of note, excellent prices on ammo cans. I could have blown all of my discretionary funds just on those if I didn't have ironclad self control."
"This museum is amazing! The curator Peter is so friendly and knowledgeable. The amount of historic items, weapons and ammunition is incredible. All well categorized and explained! A must see in Hawthrone!"
"A most incredible array of different era personal effects, individual equipment, and hands-on "stuff". If available, DO engage with the elder staff and their personal stories. Wonderful folk. The munitions display was unlike any I've ever seen including my time in the military. Interting and fascinating for non military as well."
