"Very cool history and nice place for an event"
"Had a wonderful time this museum. A historical gem that has a alot to offer. The African American history displayed is remarkable and the museums does a good job depicting a snap shot back in time. The staff is down to earth and very welcoming."
"Great museum. Highly recommend. Very interesting part of Des Moines history. Our guide was terrific."
"Hallowed grounds for Black History and Women's History. It inspires me to think of Iowa at its best. Fort Des Moines Museum displays how Iowa socially and racially raised the standards of Equality and Equity and challenged the United States to follow suit! As a Black Man, this place makes me proud to be an Iowan."
"It's a neat little attraction but nothing special and could certainly be done better. It's also right next to the Fort Des Moines Correctional Facility so you get the added bonus of losing your search and seizure rights despite not being a criminal, and the area is crawling with prison parolees. That might not be so bad, but they also have a sizeable sex offender unit there and since it's a work release center they're out in public just like everyone else. Anyway, not a stellar experience to say the least."
