Reviews of 12th Armored Division Memorial (Museum)

Larry Smith

Even from the outside it's worth the drive past. Like a mini Museum

Jay Weisenberger

Cool museum in Abilene. More to it than it looks like from the outside. Park in the church lot across the street.

Gradyth

Amazing place! The staff is very friendly, and open to picture taking. The walkthrough take about 2 hours (for all 3 floors + the outside).

Dean Young

Very informative great visit for anyone

Charles Morello

The museum covers so much of the history of the 12th Armored Division that you can spend a day to see it all. Staff was helpful finding info about my Father who served in the 12th. Great detail about liberation of concentration camps and participation in several key actions. Worth the visit; worth the detour.

This was a wonderful experience. An opportunity to remember the man a women that help won the war. The three story building is full of artifacts from the war. The basement has a collection of dioramas representing battles where the 12th participated. The first floor show the beginning of the 12 and the different theater of operations where this division was deployed. The second floor has a collection of Nazi memorabilia and there is a room dedicated to the Holocaust.

Alex Wakal

First class museum in downtown Abilene! Enthusiastic staff presenting well laid out displays of World War 2 history with an astonishing amount of artifacts. Magnificent small scale dioramas fill the basement, and the prisoner of war display on the first floor is astounding. Full scale dioramas and an assortment of vehicles round out the tour. Well worth the time to visit.

This WWII museum is one of Abilene's hidden gems. There are 3 floors of various aspects of the war. There are American uniforms, guns, equipment, medals, and much more. They have a whole section dedicated to Nazi memorabilia from their weapons, guns, equipment, uniform, medals, etc. There's a section dedicated to the holocaust, a prisoner of war section, another dedicated to different vehicles including a tank, and so much more. The admittance fee is just $5 for adults and it's definitely worth the price. Spent over an hour here and I'm highly satisfied. This is a must come!

Kenneth Stillabower

Nice museum for all ages

Mary Jane Miller

This is a fantastic museum. Very few interactive activities but overall, historically accurate and gives a great depiction of wartime life on and off the field and in the internment camps.

Jack Hubbard

Very well detailed. I liked the hand held narrator thing. Unbelievable artifacts/souvenirs from WWII. We almost started crying in the room about the Jewish prisoners. Excellent place to teach about the war. Very well done.

My son, who is fascinated with all military things come ro enjoy this place at least once a quarter. Lots of rare historical items here. Very well kept. Much history is displayed here that does not need to be forgotten.

Travis Jordan

Awesome pieces of history here on display! Great set up also great location for viewing!

Gerald Martinez

Since my dad was in the 12th armored, this was a must. This was way better than I expected. 3 floors and some armored vehicles outside. We went during the Vietnam display of dog tags from Texans that were killed in Vietnam. My father in law found his brothers dog tags which was pretty emotional. Lots of displays and info on where they went and what they did. I was very impressed and everyone should see this. It's a great memorial for those men that fought for our freedom.

Ed Boyle

I love this place! Everything is well presented and explained. If you haven't been, GO!

Very good background on the men of the "suicide division". The place is a bit long in the tooth, but worth a visit if you're interested in WWI, or have a family member that served. Excellent tribute to those who sacrificed to protect our freedom.
