The class and faculty members who fought this battle gave the Institute the right to have bayonets on their rifles; the only school in VA. to be permitted that honor. More

Not much civil about the civil war, and this battlefield museum can bring home the horror of what our nation went through to become the America we love. More

This place is perfect for a quiet picnic and walking about reflecting on days gone by. More

Like so many others my wife and I were duped by the signage and realized after we had paid that the battlefield was farther up the road. We did find some of the exhibits interesting BUT it was not where we had intended to visit. It is shameful that they are allowed to post such misleading signage. Obviously we are... More

We inadvertently visited this museum, thinking we were visiting The New Market Battle State Park. The signs are very misleading, telling you to stop at this museum to get tickets...We asked about the movie that was mentioned in the AAA booklet and were told that we shouldn't believe AAA. We paid our money and went through the museum. As we... More

We stopped in, because the signs to the REAL museum are confusing. We asked if we were at the right place and the woman gave us false information. She told us that everything we wanted to see was there, so we paid to see the museum and it had nothing to do with the Civil War. So we actually went... More

I really don't think the reviews that slam this museum are fair. It exhibits a vast and interesting collection of military memorabilia from throughout American history. It's true that you might be disappointed if you are only interested in the Civil War and/or the Battle at New Market, in which case the state park is a short drive away. If,... More
