Some of the manikins in uniform look very real! Well worth the price of the donation. the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.
We truly enjoyed the personalized approach taken by this museum. Stocked with uniforms, medals and memorabilia donated by local county and area residents allows the museum and its extremely knowledgeable volunteers to tell the stories of these individuals in a way few museums can. It puts a name and face to so many of those who served their country. The museum is apparently a very popular excursion for local schools and we can see why - highly recommended.
Thanks for your great comments about our museum! Hope you will visit again!
Could have spent much longer than I did (others in the party not as interested in the military). If you read all the info available you could probably spend the day.
Really enjoyed the visit to see this museum. Liked to see all the uniforms displayed from the various wars. Well worth the stop. Well done.
this is a very heart warming place to go and check out. so much to see and read about, and its free, donations will be accepted. its worth the visit
The Livingston County War Museum is located on the 3rd floor of a building containing multiple museums. I certainly wasn't prepared for this exhibit. Upon entering, I was immediately taken back with the deluge of mannequins dressed in uniforms. Upon closer inspection, I saw that each represented a local service man/woman. A tag hung from each, telling the visitor who they were, when they served, medals they were awarded, and where they served. Mostly they were locals who served every branch and in all the wars... Not only was the number and variety of this representation impressive, but the access was as well. These mannequins were not behind glass, but intimately available to touch (which is encouraged).
I was greeted by the curator and developer of this museum and was taken on a journey through the conception of this museum (his father's vision) and his family's contributions within the US military. His father was a WWII participant in the D-Day landing and he served in Vietnam. His sharing was personal and engaging.
Exhibits were loaded with photos and artifacts - quite a collection!
Eventually I had to move on to the next museum, but again after dropping a donation in the box. This museum is free to visit.
