I am new in Massachusetts and I appreciated so much this visit. The lovely man that toured us was very kind and he gave us a lot of informations about the whole area of Fort Devens. The museum is not big but very interesting. Visiting these kind of places is the best way to keep History alive. The whole Fort Devens is a very nice and interesting visit to do!
There is a lot of donated artifacts from both world wars at the museum. Guides are very knowledgeable, and answer any questions you may have and you set the pace you want to go through museum. It was an hour well spent.
I went for the Veterans Day weekend exhibit. I heard a good lecture and perused the displays. Interesting stuff and friendly museum members!
One of my new favorite museums.
Lots of military memorabilia in several rooms. Video of the history of Fort Devens. They need more space and they need to be a lot better organized into distinct periods and wars. The items need to be better labeled, though if they were organized by periods it wouldn't be quite so necessary. They have a map of Fort Devens with the locations of the cemetery, many historic buildings and a few other sites. Since I had never been to Fort Devens before, I drove around to see all the sites. The cemetery location was not quite correct on the map, and most of the buildings were not labeled with any signage tio indicate their former use, though that is not the museum's fault. Considering the many buildings which are vacant, it is a pity that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts won't provide something more suitable for the museum while they are hoping for better-paying tenants to come along. Since the museum is free and staffed by volunteers, they obviously can't afford a high rent. Fundraising and lobbying by veterans groups might help.
