This place is rich with history. Those who might enjoy this place: History Buffs, School-aged kids, WWII Vets, Gulf War Vets, etc. Also, who would enjoy this place are: People who are able to look at the Big Picture and see reality for what it is, Those who appreciate traditional family values, Those who know the value of serving others, those who value all Human Life, including the lives of our enemies overseas- This great man lived such values, as reflected by his quotes which are posted, throughout the museum. What a beautiful story of a great man. The legacy he left should be an inspiration to most Americans!

Have passed this building many times. Finally, did a road trip to see it. The website says it was open on Wednesday and it was even though the Maps app said it was closed. Glad we believed the website. The admission price was only $6 for adult. I thought it was reasonable. There are World War I and II posters on the wall. There is also an exhibit of the Texas Vietnam vets dog tags. These were Texans who died in the war. The vehicle exhibits was very informative. The special exhibit on D-Day was also very good. It is small and very good. It is worth visiting.

New to Aggieland, I found this memorial thoughtful and a fitting tribute to the lives that were lost in that terrible accident. We went at dusk and thought the lighting added an even greater dimension to the memorial.

Santa's Wonderland certainly deserves its name. You can ride through a winding course of spectacular lights in a horse drawn carriage. There is a petting zoo and lots of quaint shops with eats, hot chocolate, and Christmas displays. It has an overall cowboy Santa feel to it. A crackling fire in the central fire pit is great for warming yourself up in between activities. Ample restroom facilities!
