This veterans museum is wonderful! The collection has numerous and wide range of eras! They even have one of the original jeep prototypes that was built by Ford! The vehicle collection is amazing with very knowledgeable and enthusiastic people that maintain and preserve the history throughout the times. You will not be disappointed!!

Yesterday I got to visit the US Veterans Museum in Huntsville. I went on a bit of a military history kick after binge watching The Pacific, Generation Kill, and Band of Brothers. There are just so many incredible stories to be heard. Definitely check it out if you get the chance. It’s only $5 and the money is a donation to the museum. The inside features medals, uniforms, guns, vehicles, war advertisements, and some local Alabama history as well.

Its always been such a wonderful place to go and see some great military history.The place has so much past history its really amazing place.. 20th abn

There is so much packed into this museum! The gentleman who was there telling our group about the history was very informative & passionate. Coming from a family with a lot of military history, I was very impressed. I will definitely be back, along with a few of Veterans with me

We went here with a group of friends over the 4th of July weekend. This was a solid visit. They have so much to see in terms of artifacts and vehicles. There is a lot to take in. The staff is friendly as well. My only complaints or observations would be 1. There is so much to take in that it really needs to be laid out a little better. Some of it looks like at one time they started to catalogue it and lay it out based on a chronological time line and stoppedA lot of it consists of just wandering around looking at tons of cool military artifacts and historical pieces. Thats fun in itself but it could be a little better. The 2nd thing was the wasps on the outside exhibit. I understand its summertime in Alabama but you just gotta get out there early in the spring and check it daily. We didnt even go outside because they were so bad. Overall its well worth the price though to see some terrific historical memorabilia.

Small but very interesting museum with a very nice weapons and vehicle collection from Revolutionary to modern including one of the Ford prototype jeep and a very helpful staff

This place has SO MUCH history, crammed into a small building. They need more people to visit, more people to donate- they need a bigger building to display things better. But that is a positive thing - right now it puts history up close and personal! Highly highly highly recommended!!!

We left Nashville TN and headed south to explore Alabama. Read so many great reviews of the US Veterans Memorial Museum that we ventured off of I-65S and headed towards Huntsville AL. So glad we did. Do not miss this amazing experience. The staff was friendly and informative. This displays were overwhelmingly complete from Revolutionary War right up to the Mideast. You will not be disappointed.

This place is absolutely awesome. If you’re looking for a condensed historical military experience this is definitely worth the stop

I am a biet nam vet. This is great place to see

Absolutely amazing place! Never realized how big the Sherman tank was until today

So much to see. Huntsvilles best museum!

Its amazing the amount of artifacts that are crammed into this museum. Easily rivals the Smithsonian!

Great collection of weapons,gear and vehicles staff was friendly and were eager to teach. Only thing is on a hot summers day it gets a bit hot in the building definitely not unbearable.

This is a hidden gem that should be explored by every military enthusiasts. They have Jeeps, tanks, and helicopters displayed inside the building. The memorabilia and artifacts span the World Wars until now. Support this museum!

Absolutely fantastic! Took my daughters there today. Very unassuming from the outside but the inside is full of history. I believe this museum is on par with our Nations finest. Staff is super friendly and full of information. Will be back soon!

Great collection of military stuff. Some very unique.

A little cramped. But very nice, we enjoyed our visit. And hope to return.

Wonderful museum, wold recommend.

I called ahead twice to make sure this museum would be open on Memorial Day and was assured both times that it would indeed be open. It was not. Very disappointed to have made a special trip for nothing.

Amazing collection of history! Highly recommend checking out this museum. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. I absolutely enjoyed my visit to the museum! I will be returning!

What a discovery! A beautiful place with mou rains of history and memories. The vast amount of information and exhibition really make it a must-go place. The staff were very nice and informative and were more than happy to accompany us with stories and personal knowledge and experience.

When you pull up to the place youre kind of wondering if you might have made a mistake, its not much on the outside. The inside is a big surprise. Great museum and friendly vets that are more than happy to show you around. Jeep serial number 1 is the star of the show.

Very neat! Im not a huge fan of history movies but going in here and being able to see original memorabilia such as letters and veteran ids was like stepping back on time. It blows my mind that this things have been preserved for so many years. They have so many original tanks and jeeps and guns and uniforms. We easily spent 3 hours looking at things. All of the people working there are veterans and it was wonderful having them show us around and talk to us about many of the items and how they were attained. A definite must for anyone. A little gem in the heart of Huntsville.Thank you to all who serve and have served, we appreciate your service.

One of the very best military museums in America. The variety is exceptional, and the presentation is excellent.

Really knowledgeable volunteers. Great place to check out!

Awesome!!! Lots of military vehicles tanks air craft etc as well as photos and uniforms and items from wars starting with confederacy. Volunteer guides give details and offer stories about many of the articles. Great historic capsule to teach kids and catch up on past history details of what made and keeps USA free. Reasonable admission and contributions accepted after you have toured.

Amazing display!!

This is a hidden gem. The entire family enjoyed it!

The folks here are utterly amazing. All volunteers, and its all from private collections! I was here 10 years ago with my son, and we finally had a chance to come back.

Amazing. Great guys working there to help out. So.much stuff!!!!

This was a very nice museum. One of the employees gave us a brief tour filled with a great deal of information. The building appears small from the outside but youll be amazed how much is inside. Be sure to stop by.

Small building, packed with military history. They even have a handful of rare display pieces.

An amazing amount of military history is being kept for generations to come. Relaying soley on donations and volunteers, the efforts to preserve the artifacts and vehicles does not go unnoticed.We were told by a volunteer that the city will be adding on to the building in the future so they will have more room to display the artifacts. There are so many and their space is filling up. Allow for an hour and half at least, there is a lot to see!

I loved all the items they have collected and preserved. Its incredible.

Lots of history there. I especially enjoyed the Cobra Helicopter exhibit also the Willys Jeep Display. Great overview of each Branch of our American Military.

Truly amazing experience. Rich in our US history. Great staff!!

The building seemed deceptively small. This place is packed with history. The way the museums path works out gives you the opportunity to return to an area and see something that you completely missed the last time you passed. The sheer number and size of the items inside are impressive. My family and I spent an hour or so walking around looking and taking pictures. $20 for 4 people to engage with history like that was definitely worth it.

When in Huntsville, Alabama, this is a must see for a little history lesson & little Love for our veterans. Dont forget to leave a donation of some amount & a sentiment of gratitude before you leave.

History told through cared for objects. From Revolutionary war to current day, this museum has it all! The amount to take in is a little overwhelming but so interesting. They are constantly getting items loaned or donated. Support this museum and our veterans! Must see when your in the area!

I was really blown away by all this tiny museum has to offer. There is just a ton of stuff to look at. Really very cool and only $5! Cant beat that.

When you enter, be ready to see military history up close. The vehicles inside along with the weapons, uniforms and other items all have a story that is very unique. We held a rifle from World War 1 and compared the weight to current guns. It was great getting a tour from the volunteers who know the history and gave us info that we never knew...such as did you know the first Army Jeep made is at this museum? or that there is a gun here that returned fire on the Japanese forces that bombed Pearl Harbor? I would highly recommend this amazing museum.

I was surprised that such a small building had such an excellent display of vintage military items. I particularly recommend this museum for its outstanding collection of military vehicles. Dont miss the outside exhibits. HIGHLY recommended!

Really cool stuff here. Some of it is even hands on which makes it that much more memorable.

This place is busting full of display. They have a lot of material. Must drop by if you have a couple hours!

An interesting and well loved collection. The prototype Jeeps are great! I especially enjoyed the dioramas. The museum isnt fancy but the collections are well cared for. The best things about the museum are the veteran volunteers who are more than happy to help, explain, or just talk about their experiences as veterans.

Always a good feeling to be able to walk around the memorial and also a solemn moment too.

Well done displays, and the knowledge of the caretakers is great.

What a great place! The museum is overflowing with pieces of U.S. history. There are helpful Veteran volunteers to answer questions, too.

Loved it! Wish I was filthy rich so I could donate a few million dollars or so. It would be a most worthy cause.

Extremely detailed collections of military history. Very well curated. Must see

Certainly a hidden treasure, every person should visit this museum. Our 7 year old grandson thoroughly enjoyed it. We will go back again!

Fabulous. We all loved it. Super friendly people and an amazing collection of vehicles, weapons, and era authentic clothing.

Great collection and great guys sharing our country history thnk you all!

Thus museum is staffed entirely by volunteers who all served in the Armed Forces. They are so willing to share their knowledge. Thus is the second time we have been here and will return again the next time we visit Huntsville. Take your children, Suitable for grades 5th and up I think.

Nice place to visit and pick up on some historical events of local and state known soldiers. Really cool place to visit. Small, but informative

This is one of the best military museums in the world. Very nice displays. Well done. A+++

Edited!!Don’t know how this posted as one star!!! I clicked FIVE STARS ***** ++! You guys are the greatest!! See ya soon!!

Worth the time if you. One of the best collections of Military Jeeps that I have seen.

So much history here. An amazing display of vehicles and artifacts that you can really see up close.

This place was absolutely amazing

An awesome visit for sure! The staff are all volunteers and most veterans themselves. It was truly amazing to see the all of the equipment used over the years.

Great way to spend a Sat afternoon. Museum is filled with military artifacts from the Revolution to present day. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and most especially the helpful and gracious staff. Thank you Scott for a very informative experience.

Great museum! You should go visit.

The building is packed full of items. I was surprised how many items were displayed, dating back to the native american weapons. This place deserves a larger building.

Good for all ages. Lots of information that even my elementary kids liked. Great pic opportunities and ... I didnt know that moments.

Beautiful place to visit, its completely outside so dont go on a rainy day.

A must see! Great exhibits of all wars and branches. Great knowledgeable volunteers. A hidden gem!

I had no idea we had great museum like this in Huntsville. Thanks for hosting the Bikes & Brew ride. !!!!

Wonderful place to visit. Tons of vehicles and very polite/informative staff. I recommend reading the Medal of Honor stories.

It was an amazing experience. It is a wonderful museum and has a lot to look at. What I found that made it amazing though were the people who have graciously given their time to make this place what it is. They have created the cabinets to display some of the items. They repair and maintain the items. They take the vehicles out for local parades and give tours. They are volunteers. Many of them have served their country before, and now they educate us. To those of the Veterans Memorial Museum well done and thank you so much for your continued service. For those that are looking for something to do, some history, or a unique experience give the U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum a go. You wont be disappointed!

Alot of stuff to look at friendly staff and learn something everytime I visit.

Great place to visit. Full of history and the 1st ever Jeep to roll off the line.

Definately a really pleasant surprise. They have a lot of stuff pa ked into that building. Covers from the re olutioN to modern times.

What a great place to visit. This little place is stuffed with a treasure trove of memorabilia from the past. You will find displays representing all military services along with items issued with great detail. Like Mr Barber mentions in his review you will have wonders when you drive up and see it but go on in you will love it.

This place is a great place to brain someone work and amusing history listing

So much interesting stuff to look at! My wife & I live local, and we dropped in on an afternoon we had off. Impressive number of US Military vehicles, uniforms & weapons from ALL countries, ALL wars! Letters, medals, mess kits, ... A great instruction of the develpment of the Jeep, includes the first Jeep ever built. Half tracks, tanks...

Amazing collection of military vehicles and memorabilia! I was surprised to find the oldest jeep in the world in their jeep collection (Ford prototype #1). The Civil War rifle collection was very impressive as well! Plan on spending several hours going through these treasures. Interesting stuff for kids and adults.

Learned a lot

Absolutely a must do for any family! Some AMAZING things to see here!

Well thought out memorial. Comprehensive and complete. The water features are impressive and beautiful. Awesome circular design and battle action statues.

Very interesting with awesome displays

An extraordinary jewel of a museum in Huntsville! A Must see!!! Great for large groups!

My Dad is a 90 year old WWII and Korean Veteran. He thoroughly enjoyed and was amazed at the volume of items and exhibits.

Very nice display of military history. Stop over night in Huntsville on a trip to Florida, really nice quick stop for some history.

Smaller than I expected but packed with items!

Great collection of a variety of vintage military vehicles, equipment and artifacts.

The staff was great.One of the best museum we have visited.

Very interesting place

Great place, friendly people, very knowledgeable staff, lots of historical artifacts, MUST SEE!!!

Great place to visit for history buffs. Lots of interesting things to see and explore.

Well done. Enjoyed the displays that span multiple wars. Vehicles, weapons, uniforms, equipment all on display.

It was amazing! Pre Civil War exhibits up to present day! Helicopters, Jeeps, Motorcyles and artifacts that were so organized and easy to follow the history. The staff was so knowedgeable and helpful and told many stories that I would have never known about.You could be there all day just taking photos!

Great tour!! enjoyed it, very informative. plus our tour guide was awesome

Great collection of vintage military items! My 6 year old son and I enjoyed it!

Outstanding!

Had second thoughts when we pulled up to the facility, but upon going in we were glad we did. The outer appearance is deceiving and they jamb a lot of items into the small space, definitely worth the visit.

An amazing collection. Highly recommended.

Nice set up

Lots of cool stuff to look at, but exhibits are a little cramped.
