I had no idea this museum existed but what a gem. Even though it was free, clearly there was plenty of money spent in the creation and curation of the Mississippi Armed Forces Museum. The presentation is top rated and compares favorably to famous institutions such the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. The fact that the museum is located on Camp Shelby, the training location of the highly decorated Japanese American 442nd Infantry Regiment, was a bonus. Oh, German POWs were kept on Camp Shelby during WWII as well. So much history!

What a fun and whimsical space! Our kids love it, and so do we! Always adding new elements to the alley to keep it interesting. Afterwards check out the Hub City Smile mural or a truly unique shopping experience at the Lucky Rabbit. And dive into some amazing wings at Fairley’s or head up Hardy Street to enjoy a meal on the patio at Keg & Barrel while you’re in the area.
