This museum is awesome. Tons of cool stuff to look at. Ask for Shep as a tour guide. Hes great, and served in Korea and Vietnam. He knows a lot of great and interesting detail. We didnt intend to have a guide, and frankly didnt expect they had one, but its well worth it. Give yourself 1.5 to 2 hours. We cut it short because we had to get on the road, but wished we planned better.

Even though a its a smaller scale musuem it seems so much more geared to honoring men and women who served especially from the surrounding area. I was impressed by the amount of space awarded to women who served as well as to the holocaust. Something you dont see as much in larger museums.

One of my favorite places in the Houston area to visit. There is so much cool information and the veterans who show you around have so many amazing stories to tell. Bring the family, you will not be disappointed!

Love this museum. So much information. To really see it all and read about it all takes time and possibly more than one trip. Definitely worth going more than once.

My son & I evacuated from Port Arthur, Tx at the Bob Bowers Civic Center and traveled to Huntsville, Tx, escaping Hurricane Laura. We had to leave my pet, Chihuahua, Gracie with a local animal shelter. The processing of the evacuees was long and laborious. The people here are very accommodating. Everyone was assigned a cot and families were placed together. For me, the cot was extremely hard and uncomfortable. I have a plate and screws in my right knee and sleeping on a cot is very uncomfortable. The food is another thing...its horrible. Overcooked dried up and shriveled wieners on bread with some sort of beans and chips. Breakfast was no better, your choice of two items: slice of apple or protein bar or cheeze it chips. Coffee was no so good either. Lunch was a repeat of the supper they tried to serve: wieners, bread, beans and chips. Plenty of water and Gatorade. The children wouldnt even eat the food. People were taking the long walk to find a store to buy edible food. This morning we were served eggs ( probably powered) but dressed to look halfway decent, along with a biscuit and jelly. I know we needed shelter from the Hurticane, but giving decent people and their children what could pass for WWII rations or worse. Many had to walk just to eat some food, to the Travel Centers where we could purchase food. I went to Primos for breakfast and Subway for lunch. Im not the only evacuee who made the trip to town on foot to get a decent meal. Many of the parents with young children did the same thing. After the person who is charge took note in the situation, things improved 100%. Meals were more than adequate. Thank goodness.

I cant say enough good about this place! So much to see and take in! There were many, many hands on items my grandson could hold, look at closely and take wonderful pictures with. It was such a fun way to teach him about our history and have such fun doing it! It took a couple hours to really dig in and explore inside and outside areas. This is such a well put together museum! Several times I had to stop and gather myself, it was very emotional! I will be back for sure! This would be a perfect trip for homeschoolers!

Hearts Veteran museum is one of the most incredibly personal and purposeful museums in existence. Mrs. Tara Burnett has successfully transformed military history into a concise story that every heart will remember long after its visit.

This place is a hidden gem! Ive been to quite a few war museums and WOW! This one has so many artifacts and exhibits! Every war and branch is represented. You could spend all day reading through every last thing in there. They also have a few hands on exhibits for the kiddos. We will definitely be returning in the future.

This is a great and unique experience. A volunteer veteran leads you on a guided tour of the museum, adding a great touch of life to the typical museum walkthrough. I enjoyed it a great deal as a younger generation veteran and someone deeply interested in history. Highly recommended.

What a place. I wish I had heard of it during my research so I would have had more time to read, and look at everything, (I only had around 30 minutes.) This is one of the best museums Ive been to in my life. Just fantastic. I wish I had time to read everything, and to take a tour with one of the veterans, such a good, and meaningful museum.

What a fantastic place! Theres no other Museum in the country quite like the HEARTS Museum. Everything is from the perspective of the veterans who have donated their personal items for historical preservation. Many local veterans volunteer by giving amazing personal tours and the teach our youth about real history. They also contribute greatly to the community and to local veterans.

My organization was fortunate enough to use the facilities to host our annual Christmas party. To my knowledge, the facility also serves as a storm shelter during weather events.

Review №65

The facility outside is still being improved as it grows. It has quite a bit of military vehicles displayed but the appeal of each of them will be improved as time goes on I am sure. The monuments of those being remembered are in excellent taste. There is a new Vietnam Memorial being build this very day. The 10 tress that were planted along the memorial path are those who lost their lives in Vietnam from the county this museum is in. Once inside the atmosphere is exciting. Seeing the history of the military unfold right as you walk in. The interior is shaped in the form of the pentagon and each room and the hallway in the interior is filled with rich military history. One of the host was very informative as we were given a tour throughout the facility. I was very intrigued and was pulled into each aspect of history presented by the tourist guide and the strategic display of the historical items and artifacts. I found it one of the most complete historical military museums Ive had the opportunity to visit. A MUST SEE! Right off the Interstate and next to Huntsville Prison Museum!
