National Infantry Museum

Has anyone visited the National Infantry Museum near Fort Benning, GA? Is it worth it?

How long of a stay would you recommend? 2-4 hours?

I have an opportunity to drive by there and I am trying to find out if it would be worth my time to spend a day there (between Fort Benning and the Museum).

Thanks
  • Yup but a long time ago when housed in an old WWII wooden building! Was interesting then but a young shavetail thinks lots of things are interesting.
  • I understand they have built a new museum since we were there 20 years ago. But the old one was very nice.I would say 2 to 4 hours would be right. There are some things in the area too like Andersonville and the Confederate Naval Museum.
  • Visiting Andersonville alone on a cold, misting Saturday morning was unnerving for me just like the Little Big Horn.
  • Visited the "new" museum a couple of years ago and worth in my opinion. Of course it is free. Very similar to the Marine one in Virginia.
  • Was there about a month ago. I would say about 3 hours is right. Restaurant inside, might give it a try, we ate there. It is a very nice facility. There is a Civil War Navel Museum in the town (think that what its called).
  • Both the Infantry Museum and the Civil War Naval Museum are worthy of your time. Set aside a day and enjoy the two of them.
  • we loved our visit there and would highly recommend it.
