    Mrs. K. made only one request for this trip and this was it. Given her history of extraordinary…read morestops, the last one having been the famous Lizzie Borden House in Fall River Massachusetts, I was more than willing to reroute our journey to make this one possible. The Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville delivers a surprisingly deep and thoughtfully arranged collection of the state's correctional history with a collection of memorabilia, videos, displays and such that is tremendous and possible overwhelming without being sensational. I thought that the actual prison cell mockup was pretty good because it shares that immediate physical sense of confinement that no documentary ever quite captures. While I never did the "scared straight" thing as a kid, this would definitely work to keep me on the legal side of the law as that spall space made the whole idea of consequences feel quite real. The museum is easy to navigate and completely handicapped accessible. The staff is welcoming and the exhibits seem to strike a balance between historical detail and human stories. I didn't buy any of the prisoner-made trinkets. That seemed too much. This was a tremendous five star stop. Pro tip: Check the Texas Department of Criminal Justice website for scheduled executions. I understand that the protesters and counter-protesters can get quite passionate and while that's a couple miles from here, it does get Livingston rather cloggedup.

    Have driven past this place for years. Always stated wanted to check it out. The wife and I made…read morethe 2 hour trip to check it out. There was a lot of interesting prison history. Also at the front there is a place where you can by items made by inmates. They had some nice leather work items, key chains and wood work items. The staff was very nice and answered any questions we had.

    This museum was very interesting and had some really stunning displays and a very large collection…read moreof items for visitors to see. When we entered and paid the small price of admission, we were greeted by a volunteer, I believe he was a Vietnam veteran who welcomed us and gave some interesting information to get us started. The entry area is where he said they let kids be kids, the children of visitors get to play around in the mock up of what a US field camp would have looked like in Vietnam. He said they know smaller kids aren't always too excited about a boring museum tour so they can play soldier in this area, climb into the tent or pretend to be firing at incoming planes with the mocked up field gun. The parents are reminded that in other parts of the museum, the kids aren't allowed to interact with displays. The museum is laid out in a loop, you start to the right with the Revolutionary War period and on to the Civil War and so on. The hallway is filled with exhibits and there are rooms along the walk that you can enter that have more stuff to see. As you finish your tour you get to the section from recent conflicts like Iraq and Afghanistan. Outdoors there are many displays of military hardware, large trucks, a tank, helicopters and jet fighters. There is also a replica of the Vietnam Wall Memorial in the back that is very sobering to walk past and see so many names of service men and women who died in that conflict. This museum is easy to get to on the NW side of the city and just off of Interstate 45. There is plenty of parking, it's next door to the Prison Museum so we toured that and walked across the grass to this museum.

    I am a veteran. I've been to veterans museums before. This is one of the better ones, maybe…read morebecause it is local. As you walk through the museum, you can't help but feel the reverence and gratitude of those who set it up. The displays are great. There's a good deal of items on display. Whatever you are into, whether its the history, tools, firearms, the cultures, or the human element of it all you will not be disappointed. They have displays set up for the various branches of service, the various wars and conflicts, a chapel, a salute to women in service, and a holocaust room. There's art, models, newspaper and magazine clippings, posters, postcards, pictures, scrapbooks, diaries, flags, signs, banners, guns and every kind of collection you can imagine. The admission fee is very reasonable. This is a great place to take your kids. There is a small gift shop with a good selection of reasonably priced items. There also several exhibits outside the museum. They purchased the traveling Vietnam Wall Memorial and are currently setting up a place outside for its permanent residency. If you are a veteran, this place is also a hub for area veterans events and gatherings. Huntsville loves their veterans and they honor them in several ways. Stop by and talk to these good folks to find out more. They are always looking for volunteers. If you are a veteran or just someone who appreciates our veterans, contact Tara for more information. Do yourself a favor, go see this wonderful memorial to the men and women who loved our country and it's way of life so much as to be willing to die for it. You will be inspired. It will restore your faith in mankind. If nothing else, you will leave with a great sense of gratitude and appreciation for what you have.
