Great FREE museum. Somewhat somber, but very well put together. Lots of care and attention to detail was put into all the exhibits. Theres way more that just Shelby stuff here. Plenty of history of all armed conflicts that the US has been involved in. Definitely recommend you stop by here and budget at least an hour. If not two hours to soak it all in.

Great Museum . Free to the public . It’s very educational. There’s a lot to see . It will take you a few hours to go through it. The staff was great, very polite and friendly. It’s right inside Camp Shelby. You will need an ID to get on base .

This is one of the best museums that I have ever been to. The staff members are extremely nice and knowledgable on the museums contents. I was surprised how big it is once you get inside, and they even have an outside attraction with tanks and such. This is a must see for anyone!

Very detailed throughout the years of service surrounding Camp Shelby and Mississippi.

If you havent been here yet....you really ought to go! The museum is first rate! Its spacious and has so much to see. The outside grounds area has actual tanks and helicopters to see and explore. The staff was excellent and informative. And.....its free! Just amazing to have this great facility right here at Camp Shelby!!! Go!!!

Great military museum. Wish they kept better care of their relics, particularly the swords... theyre in need of some serious love and care.

Great place to visit. Clean restrooms. Especially liked seeing the displays and info on war heroes from Mississippi.

There is a lot of space, very realistic stuff, like scary. It was very fun but the gift shop was very small but I am not giving it a bad review about that. Very fun and cool place recommend it.

What a cool place hidden away on the grounds of Camp Shelby. My kids loved seeing all the old military planes and tanks! I highly recommend checking it out if you’re in any way interested in history!

Great museum! Staff is very friendly...even the guards at the gate were friendly. Perfect place to take the family to learn,see and touch some military history.

It was a great place I had my grandson with me he had a great time

I come here at least once a year and bring my family. They have great artifacts and my kids love it. Entry into this museum is free.

Nice experience with very good exhibits. Really enjoyed it.

Amazing museum that honors our veterans and local heroes

A truly excellent museum. Worth the trip, worth the time

I can not begin to thank our military forces enough. Camp Shelby is an awesome example of our military at its best. This group of troops are the best!! The best military on the face of the earth and I thank God they are ours. God bless our armed services!!

Great museum. Has a lot of great displays and weapons.

Its very well set up, with awesome historical displays and knowledgeable staff

Great place to visit, extremely educational and best of all its free. And did I mention they have TANKS!!

Absolutely fabulous museum. So much information we did not know

REALLY interesting museum, lots to see and learn!

Nice museum, loved the weapons display for different periods...

Its a great place we stop by every time were in the area.

Great information. Has a lot to look at. Old tanks and helicopters.

One of the finest military museum that Ive even visited. I was very impressed and highly recommend it to anyone visiting southern Mississippi.

Great staff, great exhibits

Just incredible I have no other words to describe my day there

Everyone should visit this museum if they are in the area. Great presentation and history of the Mississippi guard and Camp Shelby during WW2.

Fantastic experience. It is obvious work and effort were expended in gathering and displaying the exhibits in this outstanding museum.

Very educational.I am a gulf war vet.I enjoyed it alot

First rate. A must see for families and veterans. Very professional staff. Easy access.

It brought so much into perspective to see glimpses of what my dad may have experienced as a tank commander in the war. He never talked about it.

A lot of good information in there.

Great place to visit for history

This museum is amazing! Detailed exhibits on the civil war, Mexican American war, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Iraq wars! It is a must do attraction if you are going to Hattiesburg! I have never seen such an amazing museum!

A hidden treasure in Hburg! Perfect place to visit alone or with family. Everything in the museum was well documented and superbly maintained. And props to the museum for highlighting Mississippian war heroes!

Every piece, in the museum, is well documented. The recreations, of military life, were spot on. The outdoor helicopters and tanks were amazing. It is a clean, cool place to learn, for everyone. Admission is free, and ample parking. Restrooms, and handicapped accessible.

For people working in a military museum, they sure dont know their history well. Especially when it comes to acknowledging recognition to the native people/tribes (whose help was really vital to this country). Sure women helping out, joining, etc. were mentioned a couple times, but codetalkers were only mentioned once. They had no problem with showing multiple displays of Hitler though, so theres that.

Very detailed timeline throughout Mississippi military involvement in training troops for combat. Information on Mississippi veterans

Loved i took my kids here on a family outing and they loved it and was super excited to see all of the elaborate exhibits they had and we plan on going back soon

The museum is amazing. I see and learn something new every time I visit. The staff is super nice.

Great displays and local vet history.

Please go check it out. It has been remodeled since I last been there. About 4yrs ago.

The best place to learn about every single war America has been involved in. Wonderful displays, beautiful artifacts, awesome staff.

A museum that rivals many across the Southeast. Both inside and exterior exhibits are worth the trip to South Mississippi.

Wonderful place to see. Ive made many contributions and am leaving much when I pass on.

Very cool assortment of history!

Very nice, educational military museum.

Neat museum, enjoyed it very much.

This is a great place to visit if you like history. It is free and they have more exhibits than some museums that have entrance fees. My only complaint this visit was that they had the WW2 wing closed off for remodeling. The museum had been closed for expansion and remodeling for a year and reopened around the first of the year, so we assumed they were finished. I have no problem with them remodeling, but the WW2 wing is about half of the museum.

Better than W W2 museum N O LA

Well worth a visit. Quite a hidden gem.

Wow, this was an unexpected experience. This is a wonderful museum to visit. They have done a lot of work here to display the exhibits of this countrys wars. Highly recommended.

Great staff as well as a clean and roomy facility

My family really enjoys this place!

Great place for a family trip or School.

This place is awesome! But its going to take more than one day if your going to actually go through and read everything! So much history! Very interesting

Nice museumkid friendlyeasy to take your time and look at everything.Very helpful staff

Organized well, friendly people and tanks and helicopters... Whats not to love?

Everything you could hope to see . But there is not a real Army issued Willys Jeep on display. Word is they are restoring one at this time that runs and drives

Very friendly staff. There is no charge for entrance but donations are welcomed. They a few items for souvenirs, like cups, pencils, some shirts and caps. The exhibits are a timeline of U.S. war and conflicts and the involvement of Mississippi National Guard. The layout is very easy to follow. It took about an hour or a bit over and hour to go through the museum and reading over the info provided for the exhibits. The bathrooms are at the end of the exhibitions and a very clean.

I felt honored and humbled to be in this museum.

Great information on war heros from the state of Mississippi. Beautiful place.

Excellent museum hidden outside of the city at a military base. Very informative.

Really nice place to take the family and learn about the local military and many of our heroes

I am not sure how we will get some of this military hardware working again after the government collapses, but at least they put it all in one convenient location!

This place is wonderful. Such a great place to bring your young ones and show them history.

My eleven year old son loved it. It is dwarfed in size to the museum in New Orleans, but it is much closer for us, easy to get to and way more affordable.

Really deatailed compares to the ww2 museum in new orleans

Love the visit. Very good exhibits

Nicely done.

Horrible.. everything is run down.. mold everywhere.

Excellent display of armor, air, and history of Mississippi Medal of Honor recipients.

Free admission. Lots to see

Definitely more interesting than I thought it would be! Would give it a visit if I was ever in Hattiesburg again.

Very nice Museum and the curators were awesome!

Very well maintained, and filled with many exhibits. I learned a lot about the men and women who sacrificed so much for us. I will return, as our time was limited, and there was so much to read and see.

Very informative, and youll need a good little while to go through it. The time periods that are shown just flow through it is very neat and interesting.

Great displays. Rare military equipment. Great historical observations.

Very nice musuem. Some very neat pieces and exhibits to look at.

Great museum but there is a error concerning the ak 47 presented to Sonny Montgomery. the plaque states it a russian ak47. That is incorrect. Its is a type 56 Chinese ak47 . Only the Chinese version has a spiked bayonet folded under the barrel.

It has wonderful history of Camp Shelby.

Wonderful state museum with amazing exhibits and a staff that possesses extensive knowledge.

Soo much information and artifacts from all over the world!

Very nice, enjoyed it!

Very well done. It is worth taking the time to experience everything the museum has to offer.

A lot of history and very cool stuff to learn

GreT museum.

Gem of local military history. Anyone visting the camp should take time to explore.

One of the best layout/content I have seen in a military museum. Friendly folks.

My little boy loved seeing all the old guns and tanks

Im a veteran and I love history.

Enjoyed this place better than ww2 museum in n.o.

Like a smaller version of the WW2 museum in New Orleans.

Lots of history and great displays

Very nice museum. Well kept, clean. Very informative museum, nice staff. 10/20/2017

A fantastic experience and you cant beat free. A must see.

We took our grandsons on Mardi Gras day, they loved the outside where they could climb and play on the tanks and helicopter. The inside was absolutely wonderful for adults very informative and I loved the commeration to local heros.

Very well laid out museum. A hidden gem!

I could spend an entire day in here. LOTS of great info and displays.
