Byłam z 8 letnim dzieckiem ,miejsce godne pokazania naszym potomnym.Bardzo ciekawe i pełne historii nie tylko wojennej ,rowniez naszego miasta.Dziecko z dużą ciekawoscią bez pośpiechu samo z siebie czytając zgłębialo wiedzę.Na koniec miła niespodzianka, możliwość upamiętnienia poprzez fotki w mundurach i z bronią .To jest miejsce dla wszystkich niezależnie od wieku.Miłe Panie włączyły się i zrelacjonowały częśc nadzej historii.Polecam

Małe muzeum, poruszające.

Kawał ciekawej historii, dobrze zachowane rekwizyty, od rana ani jednej osoby co mnie mocno zdziwilo. Samo muzeum jest małe, co jest też plusem. Wypad raczej na około godzinkę, bardzo miłą godzinkę. Bilety i pamiątki tanie ale ciekawe. Obsługa była pomocna i bardzo miła! Do tego wystawa z replikami (która miała być czasowa) została na stałe co jest dużym plusem! Serdecznie polecam, tym bardziej że to idealna lokalizacja żeby spacerek z obiadem zakończyć w ciekawym miejscu.
