Brilliant

Great museum of war memorabilia, William is extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. There is an audio device for you to click around on pieces and listen to information on. There's also an outdoor covered picnic area and kids play area.

There is a children's play area/playground and covered picnic site on location. There were young children in our party who enjoyed themselves immensely.
