This place is rich with history. Those who might enjoy this place: History Buffs, School-aged kids, WWII Vets, Gulf War Vets, etc. Also, who would enjoy this place are: People who are able to look at the Big Picture and see reality for what it is, Those who appreciate traditional family values, Those who know the value of serving others, those who value all Human Life, including the lives of our enemies overseas- This great man lived such values, as reflected by his quotes which are posted, throughout the museum. What a beautiful story of a great man. The legacy he left should be an inspiration to most Americans!

Have passed this building many times. Finally, did a road trip to see it. The website says it was open on Wednesday and it was even though the Maps app said it was closed. Glad we believed the website. The admission price was only $6 for adult. I thought it was reasonable. There are World War I and II posters on the wall. There is also an exhibit of the Texas Vietnam vets dog tags. These were Texans who died in the war. The vehicle exhibits was very informative. The special exhibit on D-Day was also very good. It is small and very good. It is worth visiting.

While on my way to the presidential library in College Station, TX, I stopped at Bee Weaver's in Navasota for a honey tasting. While there one of the staff suggested that I stop at Peach Creek Vineyards since I was along my route. I arrived just as the owners were opening so I was the only one there, had a wonderful wine tasting as well as visit with the owner, Donna. This property belonged to her grandfather and she turned it into a vineyard where people can bring their own food, sit outside around the bonfire and visit. Some nights have live music. The pond has ducks. It's a really lovely community spot! Love this place!

Does it all very well ... a fully equipped bar, extensive menu, very comfortable movie seats with silent bell to request service, and free (with validation) parking ... very friendly and knowledgeable staff ... Alex S, our bartender, was top notch and made several good suggestions for the beer and the entrees ... pleased with the kale salad and then buttered pretzels during the movie were outstanding ... we started our tab in the bar and it seamlessly followed us to our movie seats

Fun time with nice staff. We also want to thank the staff for being attentive. My friend and I were on the ice and had a male that would not leave us alone. It started off harmless enough with a response to his hello but became an issue as we would eventually ask him to leave us alone. But this eventually turned into him grabbing us and trying to knock us down while laughing at us nearly being knocked down by him all while he would ask why we kept ignoring him. So, we got off the ice to see if we could wait him out. We went to the shop, only for him to end up following us in there and standing decently back while still in view. A nice man working there seemed to get the uneasy feeling and made small talk with us. When the male seemed to get closer he very forcefully told him to leave us alone. The male left which we were thankful for since we personally were very blunt with him on the ice but to no avail. He did return to the ice when we did but did not bother us again nor try to intentionally knock us down. Had the staff member not take note and action my friend and I would have been forced to leave after only being there for a few minutes.

Decent place to watch a basketball game. Can remember seeing Acie hit "The Shot" to beat Texas. The upstairs seats are not bad when it is packed, but hasn't been packed in about 5-7 years.
