ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! Such a gem that I've passed by soo many times. For such a small place there was so much memorabilia. The personal tours are fantastic with such knowledgable staff. Chris did an amazing job walking us through the highlights of the museum. You can really tell they enjoy being a part of the museum. And its free. The quality of the visit will definitely want you to make a donation as I did. Absolutely worth the visit!
What a pleasant surprise! I honestly wasn't expecting much upon my visit to the NASFL Museum but I am so glad we made the trip. From the moment of our arrival we rang the door bell and we were welcomed by Chris. He was our tour guide and he did such an amazing job pointing out key factors on why the NASFL Museum is so important. There was so much history he taught us and even hours after the tour I find myself researching some of the events he highlighted on. I would highly recommend going to this museum, there was so much memorabilia we spent almost 2 hours looking at it all. Also the museum is free but donations are encouraged to keep the lights on.
A hidden gem! Go there!
