Fantastic display and memorial dedicated to the many Men & Women who gave thier lives in service.

It had a whole load of different timelines it was spectacular stories from and about the fallen soldiers different uniforms fun for the kids I have a set area with uniforms you can try on questions and gadgets to play with an answer and as a Sousa range to try out your target practice

Truely fabulous little museum with some incredible exhibitions, I must mention how amazing the staff there were particularly Jana who made such an effort talking about the displays with both my boys. My eldest has never been as engaged with displays and that's is a credit to her passion and enthusiasm. 5 stars not enough
