Loved this museum. I learned so much about the Army Engineers. Only complaint was that the museum was open until 4 pm but the gift shop closed at 12. We were not told of this when we went to the museum so when we finished touring the museum the gift shop was already closed.See more..
This museum has stations for each war and/or conflict America has been involve in from Civil War through modern day. It is well thought out and well documented. Great place to go to. Plus, it was free.See more..
Great, albeit a bit small, MP museum. Its nice that the building also houses the Chemical Corps and Engineer museum. One problem with the MP museum: there is an exhibit that has a touch screen with the listing of MP units. The listing does not include National Guard and Reserve units. Come on, the old days of active duty being better than the reserve components are over.See more..

Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial is located in Perryville, Missouri. Our mission is to preserve military history, honor all who served, educate Americans about the cost of our freedom and provide a place for healing and reflection. Our grounds include an exact replica of the Vietnam Wall in Washington, DC, military museum, Welcome Center with a gift shop of patriotic items, and other monuments.See more..
Conveniently located in same building with Engineer and MP museums. The star of this museum is their regimental room. The old wood feel is awesome.See more..
This is an excellent museum. You walk through at your own pace. The artifacts are impressive. The displays take the visitor through the years - from horses to cars, weaponry, clothing, tools, etc. The items made by prisoners were very interesting. The paintings and drawings are wish taking time to look at as well. There is even a section of the Berlin Wall on display. Across the road are various out of commission tanks and vehicles. If you are visiting someone with access to Ft Lenard Wood, ask to go to the museum. You won't be disappointed!See more..
I happen to be one of those interested in visiting Civil War Battlegrounds. While many sites have fancy interactive displays and such, Lone Jack has done well to preserve the grounds, cemetery, and museum. I understand the funds were cut off by the state a while ago and the furnishings put into storage and lost. The townspeople have revived this site and even have a knowledgeable on site docent to answer any questions. The history of the battle is succinctly described in a few panels on the walls. There are a few dioramas depicting the battle as well as that of Westport. My attention was drawn to Order #11 that banished all residents from 4 counties during this war. The website has links to great references to this battle. Read up on it either before or after visiting the Museum and Cemetery. They have a circular driveway to park a motorhome with towed vehicle.See more..

This building is in much need of love. We're considering buying and re-opening it. If we can't, I hope someone else takes up the cause because this piece of history deserves another chance!See more..

Tucked away on the second floor of the Perry County Higher Education Center in Perryville is the Perry County Military History Museum said to be a hidden gem in Southeast Missouri. The Perry County Military History Museum has made a promise to never forget our veterans.See more..
