Reviews of Fort Douglas Military Museum (Museum)

Kerem Cantekin

There was some interesting stuff, certainly the information Buffalo Soldier, but I simply didn't like it, especially the fact that they show Saddam's boats seem to be a very bad thing.

Taylor Lamb

Loved getting to visit Fort Douglas! I was so interested in learning about this and had seen that it was a local museum that was free so that was SUPER appealing. The people were so friendly and it was really cool getting to know them and learn about what it was like in the military. I have a tremendous amount of respect and just reverence for anyone who either does serve in our military now or has in the past. There's so many different positions and things to be done but everyone selflessly making that brace decision To go is what helps everyone else along the way. So cool to learn how long this place has been around!!!! It's amazing and ton of historical stuff from way back when that they have preserved and taken good care of. Totally worth checking out and donate to keep them afloat! They are completely self sufficient so any and everything helps. They also sell cool gifts in their which is great cuz they have something for everyone.

(Translated by Google) War History Museum. There was a lot more to see in Salt Lake than there was to see. There are also many exhibits on the Korean War and World War II, so it is worth visiting if you are interested in these areas. (Original) 전쟁사 박물관입니다. 볼 거리가 많지 않은 솔트레이크에서 생각보다는 볼 거리가 많았습니다. 한국전쟁이나 2차 세계대전에 관한 전시물들도 많아서, 이런 분야에 관심이 많은 분들이라면 방문할 가치가 있습니다.

This museum is a hidden gem in Salt Lake. I've made a lot of trips to the area and even lived there for several years, but unfortunately never knew about the museum abd just discovered it. It's very well done with plenty of artifacts and displays to interest anyone. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I spent 5 hours there recently researching a WWII veteran for a biography I'm working on and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. If you are a history buff, or war buff, l highly recommend a visit. It's a great place for a school field trip or family visit. Check it out!

Chase Taylor

Very helpful vet staff. Lots of interesting history.

andrew meek

While seemingly small and unimposing, this museum has a lot to offer. The gentleman volunteering was very knowledgeable and gave us a small tour. There are a lot of cool military artifacts both inside and out. If you love military history, I recommend checking this place out

Museum is interesting and its free. However its very small. I walked the entire place in about 10 minutes. It could be better...

I'm not generally a fan of military museums, but I was here on vacation and my father wanted to go, so I came along. The museum was a surprisingly good. We received a tour from the front desk man cum docent. I also enjoyed walking around the back of the museum and checking out all the vintage military equipment.

Shaun Smith

Very interesting museum and a hidden treasure among campus. Includes a lot of history of the area while focusing on the impact of the military in the West. Would highly recommend to those interested in military history.

Steven Stone

Very much like other Military Museums.

Reishel Toelke

Denise Ashley

Amazing. Everyone should try to visit with family and friends

Ameilia

Great little museum. Free to enjoy. Located within the Fort Douglas National Historic Landmark and the focus of the Fort Douglas area history. They have some actives scheduled every month or so and they have active websites and facebook accounts that I have found useful. The best day to visit is during the Annual Fort Douglas Day in June. Also, don't forget to visit the nearby Fort Douglas Cemetery- great history there including German POWs killed after WWII during the Salina Massacre.

Breann Hemann

This is a free museum with a gift shop. You can visit and read everything in under 2 hours. Much more information than I thought! Very nice displays. The outer yard could use a refresh. Seems there is some winter storage out in front of the helicopter displays.

Great place to see the history of the Army here in Utah.

Yancee Hardy

Awesome museum.

schjoeke S.

Being from Belgium and whilst on hols in SLC last week, I visited the whole Fort Douglas Military-area whilst walking to the NHMU. I was very impressed with all the beautiful, historical houses and buildings to then stop by at the Museum itself (only saw the military vehicles from the outside though). You can have a relaxing stroll around, take some nice pictures and sort of imagine how it must've been like during those days. Really thouroughly enjoyed the whole area and would definately recommend visiting! Best is on a clear, sunny day. I used public transport (TRAX RED Line) from downtown SLC to get there.

TJ Curran

Couldn't think of a better way to honor our veterans that to learn some history about those who served here at Ft Douglas. Staffed by a great bunch of friendly, knowledgeable vets. Interesting exhibits with some great artifacts.

Sarah Harrison

My kids range in age from 12-1.5 years, and everyone loved coming here! There were so many exhibits and they continue to add fun things to do for kids. It's really cool seeing all the war history tied into Utah state history and well beyond. The grounds are beautiful and well kept.

Joseph Blanton

Huge array of decommissioned military vehicles. Also supposedly so hunted that the ghost hunting crew didn't want to explore it.

ahmed hattal

Educational and free

Beth Cooley

I think this is a wonderful museum. The conditions of the uniforms and realistic mannequins were amazing. Strongly advise going. However, your outdoor flag is faded and torn. If you let me know what size flag you have i will replace it. Such an amazing museum needs a proper flag.
