Beautiful and a must-see. Do not miss the tribute to the U.S.S. Indianapolis and climb the stairs to see the amazing Shrine room.

Erik Rowley

As breathtaking as the architecture is from outside, you've got to make time to tour the museum inside and see the shrine room if nothing else!

Andrew Furman

Based on the design of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus in the Achaemenid Empire (550–330 BC). That empire was also called the First Persian Empire, was founded by Cyrus the Great, in modern day Turkey .

Ive loved this place since I was a teenager I've always enjoyed walking around on the outside observation area watching the traffic go by and just seeing the parks and the surrounding City around me.

A museum full of years of history and a place to honor veterans of World War I. If you take your time, you could easily spend 3-4 hours exploring the exhibits .
