Military history buffs will love exploring this museum, which houses over 5,000 pieces of equipment. You’ll see uniforms, medals, military Jeeps, helicopters, and even an operating flight simulator (ask for a demonstration!). From the outside it doesn’t look like much (it’s in a strip mall and can be easy to miss–look for the American-flag-painted roof), but a guided tour makes for a fun and educational experience. The museum is run by volunteers, many of whom are veterans, so donations are much appreciated.
