It's easy to get to, just off of 95, in a spanking new building of awesome design that commands its setting. You can't miss it--and shouldn't. From the beginning, introductory film to the last, beautifully presented, cutting-edge display, it's a trip back through our country's history that will fill any American with pride. And impress all others. Some of the... more

My son read about the opening of the Marine Museum in November 2006, and chose this as his #1 activitiy for our trip to DC. What a great choice!! This museum is extremely well done, informative, interesting for all ages, and very moving as well. All this from someone who does not have any Marines in the family. You will... more
