There is a lot of great history and amazing artifacts to look at. It is a small Museum but well worth the stop. If you like firearms or the history of mechanical things, you'll love this place.
Fascinating history about Arsenal Island and the surrounding Mississippi River! Also, possibly the largest collection of firearms I've ever seen in my entire life! If you haven't been here for a while, or never been, you should check it out! The gift shop is gone; but rest of the museum has been updated fairly recently.
The largest collection of classic to modern small arms and Arsenal memorabilia I have ever seen. If you are into military memorabilia this is it. IMPORTANT: You need to enter Rock Island through the Moline gate, go to the visitor center, and bring photo ID. Kids are fine. It is not on the main road, the entrance is one road back.
Incredibly knowledgeable museum manager with an incredibly vast collection of military firearms, will be back in the future
If you are curious about the history of firearms this is the place to visit. The docent was very knowledgeable and happy to share. We visited during the women of the Arsenal exhibit. It was a little disappointing. One small room but I guess you can only share what you have.
