This wonderful museum makes history come alive. I want my grandchildren to realize that our history is not just a story, but real events with real people who were willing to sacrifice for our country. This museum was a great experience for us! Especially General Washington's tent, a miracle that it is still in existence, and such a wonderful experience to be in the same room!

We heard this museum can get very crowded so we purchased our tickets in advance. There is a short introductory film on the first floor. The majority of exhibits are on the second floor, and go in a circle from the the events leading up to the revolutionary war to the end of the war. There are interactive exhibits and shirt films as you follow the major battles chronologically. I would definitely recommend this museum as a starting point before visiting Independence Hall or other historical sites in the area. The history is basic (and in my opinion leans a bit to the left concerning revolution in general) but covers a good deal. There was a very good exhibit on an Irish noble who fought for the British during the war and his life afterwards. I would save the special exhibit until the end. Do not miss the film and Washington's War tent on the second floor. Definitely a highlight. There are lots of school groups, but the groups are moved along pretty quickly allowing you to see what you want to see.

We saw the Irish exhibit which was a different take on a Protestant Irish Noble Man who signed up with the Brits to fight the Yanks in the Revolutionary War. Extremely extensive museum, with many rooms- a staff person gave an impromptu lecture on the Irish exhibit which we really enjoyed- the museum is very big and you could go back another day to just look at 2-3 more rooms....
