“Impressive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 4, 2012

Hard to realize this place is still here and looks just like the scenes filmed there about the cadets assisting in the defense of Vicksburg in the John Wayne movie "The Horse Soldiers" Almost expected to hear the Duke himself. More

“Not much here yet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2011

While it's nice to know that several movies were filmed here and several important people attended (Jefferson Davis), there isn't many displays yet. The good part is that we watched another movie being filmed while we were here! More

“Must See”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2011

This is a beautifully restored Military College of the early 1800's. Lovely to walk in. The bookstore is filled with great historical reading materials. The museum is quite modern and most interesting with Civil War memoribilia. North and South filmed the West Point scenes here More
