Battlefield Military Museum, Gettysburg PA

Was here on the weekend and was completely blown away! Stayed across the street and had to come check it out. Owner was incredibly nice and welcoming, and his collection was next level. If you are a military historian or just a war lover, you have to check this place out! Admission if very affordable too!

I really enjoyed seeing this museum the, collection of items is huge with unique pieces and so many items to look at it spans revolution through Korea. However I am giving the low rating because the museum is in serious need of upkeep. Many displays are growing mold inside and items seem to be falling apart from mold growth is very sad to see these great items deteriorate. The building also smells of mold which makes me wonder if it is even safe to be in the building. We went on a 98 degree day and I thought it would be nice to go in building and cool off but I think the only air conditioning is one window unit we were still sweating inside. There was only one employee and he was polite but seemed very weird and off putting. I was here as a you g adult and remembered it being much nicer. I hope they can get funds to clean and restore the displays and make it a five star experience again. If you really want to see a lot of unique military items it is worth the seven dollars, but I think your time is spent better elsewhere in Gettysburg and I'd skip this one, while it is a cool collection it feels depressing it seems no one cares about maintaining this museum. Even in the parking lot I know pavement is expensive but it wouldn't be hard or costly for someone to spray all the overgrown weeds. I hope they make improvements soon.

The nice gentleman, that ran the museum made our visit worthwhile and memorable! My son is a history buff, he was so impressed and filled with gratitude!

I've taken a few people here because no matter how many times I've been here, I've found it to be the most interesting museum where I can always find new things I didn't see before. It's an absolute must stop visit! Today we even had a volunteer telling us stories and giving us information!

The owners let you interact with the memories of their mind, conversations that lead you down paths other museums struggle to come close to. Historians bring events to life, they are better than any nationally run musuem because they are honest.

Whilst some might say that it was dated, which could be true, there is by far no doubt of the quality of the items here. The owner, despite there being a near two year gap, remembered and welcomed me. Beutiful displays which are easy to get lost in. A worthy stop for history buffs who don't mind a rough edge

Fabulous place. Our guide Bill was a fantastic. Very knowledgeable and informative. The exhibits are numerous & quite extensive. Everything is original and authentic. Got to hold a civil war rifle and listen to history. The staff is great & we got our money's worth for sure. Their collection of world war 2 weapons and uniforms is amazing. One of the best experiences my family and I had in Gettysburg. They encourage you to take pictures too.

Fantastic private collection, with very friendly service by the owner! Having these pieces of history on display to the public is a treat, and it’s a must see for the area - be sure to look high and low; these are floor to ceiling displays from multiple wars that you’re sure to get lost in (with everything from Custard’s boots down to some comical WWII toilet paper!)

This is without a dought one of the best Military museums with original relics and items. A personal collection of the man who used to run this. He sadly has passed on, but his son still runs it the last time I heard.

If you are a military history buff this museum is a must see. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is a gem on the inside. I spent hours in there, and I could've been there the entire day if I had more time. This is probably one of the most extensive private military collections in the country. The owner was very friendly, informative, and helpful. I can't wait to visit again when I am back in Gettysburg.

The owner gave us a private tour since the museum isnt open for the season.very knowledgeable and interesting and nice guy

Extensive military collection! So much to see! Will be going back again. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the place could use a bit of sprucing up outside. We go to Gettysburg often and thought it was closed until we actually drove into the parking lot. It gives the impression of being closed down but it's open so check it out!

This family owned museum is a humble little surprise! The couple who own it are so sweet and easy to talk to. To see this large, impressive collection is affordable, it is cash only right now so make sure you are prepared. We will be back!

This Museum is absolutely amazing. The History in this Museum is filled with so much. I was so impressed with the displays and artifacts that I have never seen before nor will ever see anywhere else. This Museum is a definite must see. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. My new favorite Museum in Gettysburg.
