I was pleasantly suprised by this museum. Due to its location I assumed there was not much here, but I was wrong. The museum offers the purple heart trail, which exhibits over 30 aircraft that have been used by the US military throughout the years. Each plane had a placard that discussed its uses by the armed forces. This is a very interesting museum of military history.
