Located at Ft. Benning. You don't have to go thru security to get there if you follow the signs from the highway. It's new and has so much to see,need at least 2hrs or more. Good place to get something to eat also.Small but well stocked gift shop. Visit the Ranger Hall of Fame and the Medal of Honor Hall. More
