Appreciated that there was no specific time for us to begin our tour. We purchased tickets to use on July 22. Luckily we went early because the museum gets busier later in the day on a Saturday. I enjoyed seeing George Washington's tent and also reading about Americans who fought for the Brits and Brits who fought on the American side. There is so much to see and read and the details sometimes get to be bogged down in too many facts and figures. But the museum is beautiful and the exhibits are generally very interesting. You can go as fast or as slow as you wish. It might be good to go on a weekday when school back in session when less crowded. There is a small self serve restaurant on the first floor but some regular restaurants are near by if you want sit down service.
I enjoy ANYTHING concerning the Revolution and was impressed with the historical accuracy vs myths which were developed. The American contradiction of All men are created equal is shown within the time period and developed gradually. Well Done! We began at 2:00pm and left at 5:00pm. It was Sunday of Memorial Weekend and the crowd kept moving on. Since it was my first time through it will not be my last, I was uncertain frequently of where to go next. Signs and arrows would eliminate this problem. Anyone who wishes to deviate could still do so. Dave OConnell
