Small museum that highlights the long history of firearms.
Reviewed By Nordseth
We have driven by the NRA headquarters for years and never really had given it much thought. We were looking for something to do this past weekend and decided to visit their museum. None of our group are big gun fans especially. The quantity of firearms on display is amazing. And the range of history covered is excellent from the American Revolution to the Civil War to both World Wars. Additionally there are display of exotic hunting guns plus there were a slew of weapons used in blockbuster movies (our favorite area). The displays are all well lit and labeled plus brief informational details on each display are shown.

Warning, this is not your new style brewery that has every kind of beer for people that don't drink beer. The Chubster makes beer for beer drinkers. You wouldn't find 42 fruity beers and 13 flavored seltzers here. The good news, is if you like beer, this is the place for good beer with a number of varities (not only IPAs). While you're there grab some food (I recommend the pretzel which is fantastic) and some really cute Chubby Squirrel merchandise (love that logo!).
