Ditto to other reviews, best for Civil War buffs, Great Ironclad model!

Thoroughly enjoyed the small museum, great unique artifacts from local sunken ships and the battle. Helped to have some familiarity with the civil war for the exhibits. The museum is in a old train station. Don't miss stopping by the ironclad model outside!

Worth The Time

A few of us went to burn some time while waiting for a wedding event. Not very big, but very interesting. A great way to spend an hour or two. Staff was very friendly.
