Gift shop has lots of books on Virginia history, some by local authors. Quite a few value-priced used books also! Restrooms were clean and there were a few places to sit. It's about 3 large steps to enter the museum, then 6-7 steps down to the exhibit, or there is an elevator. The suggested donation is $10, but it is pay what you can. Support local!

During my stay in Virginia I visited this fun and educational museum. One of the first things you…read moresee upon entering is plaques narrating the burning of the bread basked, a brutal time during the civil war. Afterward you enter a room with a felt art wall where you can exercise your creativity. Great for kids and even better for me. I made a surfing girl. It was the highlight of my visit. Other notable features of this museum include garments worn and weapons used during the time period. Other knickknacks were also on display like old school flasks. The museum was not very large but you could still spend a chunk of time there of you enjoy reading about history. The museum ends where it began, in the gift shop. The lady at the front desk said it gets busier on rainy days. I think there was only two other people there during my visit.

Don't go in there with heavy jackets, there's humps and stairs that will get you nice and sweaty. The tour guides were young and in training I think but still gave the information needed and threw in some good jokes. The group moved at a good pace. It's an amazing place to see. Part 2 the toy museum. It was small and cool to see the trains. That's about it. Part 3. The Car Museum. Incredible to see those old cars in such great shape. Very impressive to see cars over 100 years old look like they can still go. Definitely worth checking out after the caverns, especially if you like cars.

My partner and I are trying to visit all of the Presidential Museums/Libraries, and were here this…read moremorning. The Museum is a relatively small building on the street (with exhibits primarily on one floor), with Wilson's birthplace in a home a few doors down. Despite the small size, the exhibits did a decent job of highlighting some of the positives (League of Nations, less dependence on tariffs for government income, workmen's compensation, among others) and negatives (the guy was, shall we say, not supportive of integration when it came to African Americans). We spent about an hour in the Museum, including a few minutes in the WWI trench exhibit in the basement. All very interesting, well presented, and easy to understand. The highlight of our time was the docent-led tour of the Wilson home. Although Wilson lived in the home only for his first 18 months, the docent told a number of stories about Wilson's parents, Wilson's life there and later and it was a fascinating almost-hour time touring the building, asking questions and hearing the history.

I recommend taking the guided tour of Wilson's boyhood home and then visiting the museum. It's located in a residential neighborhood next to Mary Baldwin college. The staff was very friendly and they have a well stocked gift shop. Plenty of parking. I really enjoyed the WWI exhibit down stairs and the President's automobile. I did learn quite a bit about post WWI and the woman's suffrage movement. If you enjoy Presidential history this is a good museum.

The Virginia Museum of the Civil War This isn't your…read moretypical "dusty uniforms behind glass" kind of place -- it's personal, emotional, and surprisingly immersive. From the first exhibit, you're pulled right into 1864 -- through artifacts, letters, and faces of people who actually lived it. The section on the VMI cadets hits hard: real boys, barely out of school, called to fight in one of the most defining moments of their young lives. You can feel the weight of their courage in every display case. The museum itself is easy to navigate, the staff genuinely love what they do, and every detail feels intentional -- from the carefully preserved relics to the plaques that make you pause instead of just skim. Verdict: A must-stop for anyone who loves Civil War history, military courage, or a good story told with soul. Don't rush it -- this is one of those rare museums that reminds you why history still matters.

Unfortunately, this was not it. This is more of a religious educational experience. Its all about the religion and what the Mennonite faith is about. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. There are many old/historic buildings on site but our guide really didn't seem interested in talking about history. He was very interested in talking about the Mennonite religion. We wished it was more of a historical tour/experience.

From entrance to exit, it's looped red carpet walkway with cars and carriages on both sides. As I was walking through, I loved the collection of cars and carriages on display. The sections were split by decades starting from beginning of 19th century to the mid 70s. It was so amazing to see the older models and to visualize the evolution of car models from its old days. There were really well known models on display like Delaunay, Winston, Ford, Buick, Benz, Lincoln and Dodge. All car models were tip top clean. There were no staff members inside the museum. It was mostly self exploring. But there few of them available in the sweet shop near entrance and in the gift shop. The gift shop was a separate one from the big Luray cavern one, and they also had mostly different products in the shop.

The tour is self-guided, starting from old 19th-century coaches to mid 20th century luxury cars. No guides or staff, just a little path taking you on a tour through the years and getting to explore what there is. If you like antique cars or are a mechanic nerd, you'll love this place. It is pretty cool to see how the styles changed over the decades, especially with various Cadillac, Rolls-Royce, and Ford models. You can get through the whole museum in 10-20 minutes, depending on how quickly you move along. For the the variety of cars and the price of admission, it's worth checking out.
