I am a huge history buff and looking for a way to use up some time out and about with the little ones and ths was perfect....first off, free admission!! Can't beat that- the museum is on the smaller side but I thought the exhibits were very well done. Probably a little too life-like for little ones but there was no freaking out! Their was a cool emphasis on the Wisconsin veterans and the roles that were played and I thought it was a poignant local feel for the sacrifices so many gave. I will be back- but next time will try to avoid the gift shop...!!
