Reviews of Mississippi Armed Forces Museum (Museum)

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

Travis Espy

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!

Nice and educational

Louise Wallace

For people working in a military museum, they sure don't 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 there's that.

Billy Loper

A fantastic experience and you can't beat free. A must see.

Michael Willet

Great museum

J Sargent

wes c

awesome

Tim Klingensmith

Great experience would definitely return!

Bo Lee

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.

Stephen Barnett

Really cool place

Star Lord

Organized well, friendly people and tanks and helicopters... What's not to love?

joshua baccus

Loved it

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

Steven Russell

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

Luther Walker

A lot of history to see

ALICE

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.

Lani Herrin

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.

Exelente lugar un pequeño museo pero con muchas historias, me impacto el trato de las personas que alli trabajan y creo al escuchar mi historia de vida y al saber que yo cargaba un tour de estudiantes de escasos recursos los conmovio y me sorprendieron cuando al yo salir de ayi una de las señoras que hay trabaja me puso un billete de 100$ en mis manos y me dijo que Dios te bendiga , de verdad me siento muy agradecido con ella y sastifecho por la atencion al haver visitado este lugar, es una muestra mas que Dios lo encontramos en cada uno de nuestros hermanos.
