Very Brave Men, They All Were
This Museum is quite small, but we found it to be very interesting. The parking area is quite small, it is shared with the Navajo Interactive Museum and others, so parking may be difficult at times.
The Main door to the Code Talkers Museum is on the Left as you enter the Museum Area from the parking area. We were told that sometimes the Main Door to this museum is closed. If the door is closed follow the walkway through the Museum area to the side walk and turn left, enter the Tuba Trading Post and the rear entrance to the Code Talkers Museum is at the back of the store on the Left-hand side.
There does not seem to be a lot in this museum, but what is here is very good. There are uniforms & weapons used by both The Code Talkers & by the Japanese. There is also a lot of equipment that was used by the Code Talkers in Battle during WWII, and information boards on most of the equipment explaining what it is and what it was used for. There are some actual messages from WWII and their transcripts and some photographs which considering their age are in very good condition.
I am unsure of the actual opening times of this museum, there was a notice on the main door which said, “If this door is locked, we are closed”. I would check online before you visit, or at least check the opening times of the Tuba Trading Post.
There are no restrooms in either the Code Talkers Museum, Navajo Interactive Museum or the Tuba Trading Post. The nearest restrooms are located in the Quality Inn near the Tuba Trading Post. From the Trading Post, turn left and walk past the Hogan, the Quality Inn is in front of you. Both the museums and the trading post have an agreement with the Quality Inn to allow visitors to use their restrooms.
This museum may be small, but the contribution that these men made during WWII is immeasurable.
Give thanks to those who defend democracy, for they bear the gift of liberty and pay the price of freedom.

Large-ish souvenir case of the Burger King owner’s father, who was actually one of the Navajo code talkers in World War II. Interesting stuff to look at while munching your burger. Free.

Small museum that you have to enter through gift shop. Gives good information about the code talkers. I think everyone should learn about this special group of World War II soldiers

This little museum was amazing! Very small and very informative and interesting. It's one of the best museums I have been to. Maybe because we were super interested in the history of the code talkers and the culture. Give yourself a couple of hours. There is a movie playing that is about 50 minutes long. Very good history. Take your time as you look at and read each exhibit. Awesome experience. And it was free!

Memorabilia and info about the code talkers presented in an interesting way. Actual examples of code words and an explanation of how they were used.

This is a short museum, at the time masks were required which didn't bother us. We did have to walk through the shop on the way in and out. It's completely self guided, small, but a good collection with a lot of information.

This museum is small but has a great video (do watch it) and some interesting things on display. Such brave men who helped us win a war!
