National Cryptologic Museum

Really cool museum on a subject that never really gets attention. It’s free and very kid friendly . Can be very quick or longer depending on your speed. It’s really worth a trip.

Tours are provided allowing students of all ages the chance to learn about cryptology’s impact on history.

Not many people know this place exists and it can be a little imposing to drive right past the NSA headquarters to get here. Well worth the trip though if you enjoy history and gadgets. Read more

We expected to stay only an hour here, but the tour guide was so good we ended up staying two. A good guide to information security.

The collection contains thousands of artifacts depicting the history of cryptology (codes & ciphers) and its importance to the security of the United States .

Liked all the history and hands on items. Tour was nice and informative.

Stop on route 198 to eat before you go so that you can enjoy the museum . there is no place around the museum to eat.

Museum is open the first and third Saturdays of the month.

Make sure to check out the hands-on Enigma Machines.

Love the exhibits !!

Great expository!

Pretty cool place, be sure you have plenty of time to fully appreciate all the thing it has to offer.

Awesome. Well worth the trip.
