Most Missourians Have Never Heard Of This Fascinating Military Museum

Got the ole bucket list handy? You might want to get it out right about now. We all know that Missouri's home to a ton of amazing attractions — from outdoor gardens to sprawling state parks. But, it's also rich in history, especially military history. For a truly unique experience that all Missourians will love, plan a visit to this military museum in Missouri that features both indoor and outdoor exhibits.

Tucked in the Missouri National Guard's Ike Skelton Training Center, The Museum of Missouri Military History offers a glimpse into the military's rich history from the Revolutionary War to today.

Start your tour outdoors, where you can get an up-close look at such military vehicles as an F-15 Eagle Fighter, a Sherman Tank, and a Sheridan Tank. (And, don't forget to snap photos.)

Then, head indoors to explore the exhibits that will take you on a journey through time. See, for example, a Huey Helicopter from the Vietnam-era.

All exhibits are organized in chronological order. And, many of the museum's artifacts came from veterans and their families.

Some of the museum's indoor highlights include a German MP 40 sub-machine gun, cannons, and original photographs.

Admission to the museum is free. However, donations are accepted.

Visit the Museum of Missouri's Military History, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
