This place was really awesome. Located on a military reserve base and OCS for the Army, it adds to the military feel. The your good was amazing and took his time explaining in detail each event and showcase as well as answering questions. Covers everything from the Spanish way and beyond to include Civil War, WWI, WWII, Operation Iraqi Freedom, etc. Teaches you about the rough riders, Navajo code talkers, blacks in the army, uniforms worn, the native Americans in the military, and a whole bunch more. Make sure to bring something to drink with you however, as I didnt see any vending machines or water fountains, however I could have just missed them. It is also not temperature controlled so it will be a little warm on the inside. It is handicap and wheelchair friendly.

For a small museum, they effectively use the space and provide a great oversight of Arizona military history dating back to the westward expansion (and some before, as well). While it is a smaller museum, their collection is solid and can be followed through each military period. Friendly and helpful volunteers can provide assistance, as needed. Probably the last place that has a nice display about the "Great Papago Escape" by German WWII POWs since the city did not care for the camp and escape route in recent years. Facility is an old adobe building that was utilized by German POWs to repair vehicles, so it is, in itself, a historical facility, as well. Completely worth the time and effort!

I really enjoyed the exhibit on Frank Luke. WWI heroes are mostly all but forgotten. This was a short but sweet tribute to an American Hero.
