Military History Center of the Carolinas

We had no idea this little gem was here. What a delight! Packed full of information and collectables. There is no charge to go to the museum, but you can leave a donation. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and great story tellers. Definitely worth a visit.

We stopped in today after eating at the runway cafe, and it was really cool! The kids loved seeing all the memorabilia, and the staff was very knowledgeable and informative. It's not a huge place, but it's thoroughly packed with cool stuff. Definitely worth checking out!

Visited on 10/8/2023 and this is a great place to see some authentic military history. Very helpful and knowledgeable volunteers as well, and free admittance, but please make a donation to help keep it going! Thank you!

Excellent! Well worth the drive from Abbeville! We'll definitely go back! This Organization functions solely on the donations of patrons, and volunteers! Please, support history preservation organizations whenever possible! We can't lose the knowledge that these groups share! Our future generations MUST LEARN its importance!

Hey there, American history buffs! Today, I want to pull up those knee socks, strap up my sandles and take a trip down memory lane as we explore the Military History Center of the Carolinas in Greenville, SC. It's time to unleash the power of knowledge and have a "true DAD" experience!

Walking into the Military History Center of the Carolinas is like stepping into a time machine. It's a place where you can immerse yourself in the rich military history of our great nation. From the Revolutionary War to the present day, this place has got it all covered.

Now, let's talk about the exhibits themselves. They've got tanks, planes, uniforms, weapons, and more! It's like a dream come true for any military enthusiast. You'll feel like you're on the set of a history show. You're surrounded by the power and might of military history.

They'll answer your questions with a smile on their face, just like when your neighbor, Wilson, would peek over the fence with his wise advice. They're the real MVPs, just like the dads who always have the right tool for the job.

Now, let me throw in a couple of dad jokes to keep the "fatherly" spirit alive:

1. Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems!

2. I used to play piano by ear, but now I use my hands.

3. What do you call a bear with no teeth? A gummy bear!

4. Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts!

Now, back to the Military History Center of the Carolinas. It's not just a place to learn, but also a place to honor and pay tribute to those who have served our country. It's like a salute to all the servicemen and women who have dedicated their lives to protect our freedom.

So, if you're looking for an adventure that combines history, education, and a touch of "more power," head on down to the Military History Center of the Carolinas. It's like a blast from the past, fueled by knowledge and packed with excitement. Remember, knowledge is power, and when it comes to military history, this place has all the power you need.

Very great place, we love it! The volunteer who conducts us are very knowledgeable.

Highly recommend a visit to this museum! They are only open on the weekends, but my family was visiting from out of state during the week. I took a chance and emailed the museum to see if they could do a special opening for us. Sure enough, they did! Sam was very accommodating and friendly. He was very knowledgeable about everything in the museum and we had great conversation. My 3 yr old daughter loved walking around and looking at everything. We kept her occupied by having her look for as many flags as she could find. This museum is great for kids and adults of all ages!

This place is very educational. Bill is a very nice guy he will teach you a lot of the history from the wars. What they would wear, what weapons they would use. You can even play pretend to be in the military very cool experience.

Very cool and we got free admission!

Highly recommend for history buffs! Really makes history come alive and the volunteers have awesome, personal stories about their family and friends during the wars. It’s like taking a step back in time. Make sure to leave a donation as museum entry is free.

What a surprising little spot.
I was at the airport and saw this place and pulled in. I ended up staying two hours plus.
Peter, on of the docents, gave me a private tour, explaining and elaborating on the exhibits. Knowledgeable on the subjects it was a great time listening to him and viewing the exhibits.
Although small, and a bit rough, there were several very interesting items on display. It's definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely must go if you like military history be prepared to spend about an hour soaking it all in we arrived early and we're lead on a guided tour. It's all free but I encourage you to leave a donation the people there seem to genuinely care about what they do well done well done.

Interesting , educational tour. Very accessible.

A small, friendly, and well presented museum. It’s a great display of military mobility pieces, and personal effects of service members from the 20th Century.

The gentleman that that operate this establishment are the best did not expect the experience that we got these men know how to give the greatest tour ever and hospitality is what this world needs really made me feel welcome to experience museum of our history l this place to stop and visit

John K. was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great museum. No crowd at all when we visited. Gift shop not expensive. Easy parking right in front.

Preserving and sharing the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform! What's not to like? Great displays of military vehicles, uniforms, historical weapons...just to name a few of the artifacts on display. Our docent (I apologize for not getting his name) was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the displays! This is a MUST SEE if you visit Greenville!

Very easy to find off Airport Rd Ext. Free to enter but contributions are appreciated. Gift shop when u enter, museum through the door to the back room. Everything from Revolutionary War to Vietnam. Jeeps, half-tracks, radio equipment and models all on display. Docent was very kind, knowledgeable and friendly. A must for every veteran, historian or anyone curious about military history.

Museum is open on the weekends from 12-4. It is currently in the early stages, with a very well priced gift shop, with many donations making their way in for display. At the time of this review, it is free to enter for the month of March, however I recommend donating or purchasing an MRE for $5 at their giftshop to help support them!

This place is Amazing! The boys loved seeing the cannon and displays. The staff was super friendly would definitely recommend!!
