My experience with my daughter and 3 of my grandchildren was not very good. The volunteer was not at all helpful. He didnt even ask us to sign in or offer us a pen. Just took our money and went back to the office. We were on our own from there. He did not turn on any of the t.v. screens or music and I had to finally go ask him to turn on the video in the little theatre section. I feel this is unacceptable when you pay to get the entire experience. There should also be a few benches to sit on since it all walking and reading. So sad there are no artifacts from the refugees. Most of everything there you could Google on your own.
A wonderful place that we sought to visit. I came with family who are descendants of a couple that were brought to this country and here. We had read the book Haven, which details the little known story.The employee on duty was a young woman who was outstanding in her knowledge and sensitivity. We all learned more and really enjoyed the displays.I loved seeing the Motorcycle groups that had contributed to this project. What a nice surprise.
No One There! This museum advertised being open seven days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Its stated on their website and on the property. So we deliberately delayed our return trip to WDC in anticipation it would be open. Well, we showed up at 11:05 a.m. on June 8 (Sa) and the place was locked up and completely shuttered. We tried the doors including a side door with a buzzer. Nothing. Complete silence. So, make sure you call in advance to ensure someone will be there. It has the vibe that it may be closed for good.
Incredibly good educational experience.
The information and presentation was fabulous.
A small, but moving place, a safe haven for WWII refugees.
Nice museum to be in to look around
Wonderful museum. Great location with the Fort and amble parking.
Very enlightening on good things americans can accomplish.
Its great to be able to visit the site where refugees stayed to escape Hitler and the Nazis, only wish the barracks were still standing.
