In a city of museums this gem often goes overlooked. Well worth the time to immerse yourself in the miltary history of Illinois
Great military history museum. It is small but free. Lots of exhibits to see and they are laid out by conflict. We spent about a hour here.
This was my first time there so I'm not sure what the experience would be like under normal circumstances but The world war I encampment was very interesting especially given such a small space to do it. They fired small arms blanks in what's essentially a residential neighborhood lol. The multitude of different army uniforms and equipment was very fascinating. There were many very knowledgeable participants. The museum itself is small but had great displays inside and a handfull of very neat military vehicle displays. Great experience! Check it out it's free!
Hidden gem of the museums in Springfield. I toured with a school group and got the deluxe tour with living historians, but any visitor can appreciate the unbelievable artifacts from decades and campaigns. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Illinois' involvement in war.
Volunteers will answer any questions and give fun facts. They have the complete dress uniform of Audie Murphy which includes a Medal of Honor.
