This is a wonderful little museum located just a few minutes away from Meuse Argonne Cemetery. The host is an entertaining and passionate Dutchman who has created this museum from artifacts that he has found exploring only 5km around his village. The museum is well laid out with numerous artifacts and reconstructed dug outs an bunkers. The best part of this museum is that you're allowed to touch anything as well and some of the items (like a worn French Adrian helmet with a single bullet hole in it) are really powerful visuals.

The Romagne 14-18 Museum is a unique combination of both a museum and cafe/bar. We stopped here for lunch on our day-trip out of Paris to tour the WWI battlefields and monuments. After we had ordered Jean-Paul De Vries, the owner, came over to our table and visited with our group about how he starting the business and museum. Although he was born and raised in Belgium (which is not far), his parents frequently visited the area as he was growing up. He said as a young boy he wandered around the hillsides finding and saving items and artifacts connected to WWI battles that had been fought in the area. They were everywhere. As an adult, he has made it his life's work to try and preserve those items left behind from the war. Eventually, his huge private collection was turned into a museum. He still goes out regularly searching for more artifacts. Jean-Paul had some stories about the area and WWI history that you will not find in a book. The cafe/museum is within walking distance of the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, which is a must-see, so stop by and visit both if you are in the area.
