There isn't a lot on display, but they have a really nice walkthrough on the 2nd level that goes from the Revolutionary War all the way through the Afghanistan War with information and dioramas. The signs are getting a bit light faded, so could use an update, but probably a bit of a shoe-string budget as it is a free museum. Definitely worth a visit. Takes about 45 -60 minutes to go through.

The museum is housed in an interesting 19th century stone building. Lots of exhibits on two floors, including the infamous leg from the Mexican general Santa Anna. Exhibits change with some frequency. Various events are held throughout the year such as the annual "Christmas at the Front" from Revolutionary War through both World Wars. Good place for children. No entry fee, and plenty of parking. Well worth visiting.
