I am certain that all of the staff would love it for visitors to take the time to ask questions and thank them for the service given by our military men and women.Welcome to r/Boston, a reddit focused on the city of Boston, MA and the Greater Boston Area. One of the staff that I know of is a resident of the Illinois Veterans Home, on the grounds of which the museum is located. You can easily tour this in less than 30 minutes, but to really appreciate what our troops have gone through take your time and look at the displays for several minutes, which could easily lead to spending an hour or more there, which if time allows is my suggestion. There are also displays of a field ambulance, tank and a Huey helicopter on the grounds that you can take pictures of. The museum does have a small gift shop and is staffed by volunteers. I would also like to add that the last time I was there, there was a small animal park down the street with deer and other animals that people could pet. Winter visitors can cozy up indoors and see seasonal events such as ice sculpture contests and holiday light shows. The museum is free, but donations are encouraged and I recommend this as a moving and patriotic stop for anyone visiting Quincy or the surrounding area on a vacation. Summer, fall, and springtime visitors can enjoy outdoor seating, and the weather can be ideal for walking and bike tours.

Teachers might want to tour it first to get an idea of the displays and what specifically they might want the students to pay special attention to as well develop study questions or lesson plans around the museum visit.Īfter each visit I have come away with a deeper appreciation for those that have risked, are risking, and in too many cases given their lives to keep our country free and the people of America safe from those who wish to harm us. This museum would be perfect for school groups and especially homeschool groups to take a field trip as part of a history course as I stated earlier it covers all of the wars that America has fought in. I am also interested in the pilots who fought in this area especially those who flew Corsairs. I have a great interest in this particular conflict because my grandfather served in the Pacific Theater with the SeaBees and so I am especially interested in battles or military missions in that area. This museum covers all the wars that America has fought in with my favorite displays being those of WW2. I have been here three times and each time I have come away a new appreciation for our troops, of course I have been different ages during each visit, from a child to a teenager to an adult.
