A great way to spend some time in downtown Chattanooga - Very engaging and enjoyable exhibits. The Museum provided insight into the Medal of Honor and many of those who have earned the medal. The short film highlights some of those who have earned this medal and their acts of service and heroism. My family and I were in the museum for approximately two hours and found the exhibits and the museum personnel to be very knowledgeable. Ryan was exceptionally helpful and made our visit truly memorable.

Very well done and educational - Very well done and very interesting museum. A great way to learn about the bravest Americans. A worthwhile museum to visit and support!

Powerful, Inspiring, Humbling - I visited with two of my children (ages 9 and 1). Everyone had an exceptional time. There is even a fun scavenger hunt for kids. My eldest said as soon as we left that he can't wait to go back. The museum is beautifully laid out and well organized. Tons of interactive maps, large easy to read displays, wealth of artfully delivered information around these heroes. We had the pleasure of Mr. Terry's assistance & guidance in parts of the museum. I cannot thank this man enough. He shared some remarkable stories and information we would have missed venturing on our own. If you love your country & appreciate those that have served, this museum is a MUST visit in Chattanooga. The location is perfect! 'Just next to the Aquarium / downtown area with ample parking spaces & handicap friendly. God bless America!

Amazing and humbling - This is such an underrated musuem. Everyone should visit it to learn about history and what bravery these persons have displayed over history.

Honor of Metal Museum. Excellent way to spend a few hours. - Excellent presentation of metal of honor recipients. Staff was welcoming and informative. It is a must see. Must use public parking but there is plenty and not very expensive.

Great Museum - Well Worth a Visit - I highly recommend visiting here. I visited with friends & we spent about 2 hours here. The exhibits really highlight those who received the medal of honor, their stories & their dedication. For example - Sergeant York, Astronaut Dick Scobee & Dr. Mary Walker are a few of those highlighted. The museum is in a nice location in downtown Chatanooga & is close to the Aquarium. We found parking in a garage a block or 2 away.

Take a hanky. - Phenomenal. If you have ever loved anyone in the military or if you have served, bring a hanky. The many detailed exhibits of Medal of Honor recipients will bring out the emotions. Many video interviews, authentic artifacts, and stunning recreations. I’m not sure but I think the introductory film was narrated by Tom Selleck. He did a wonderful job. I saw a small group of young people getting a lecture/tour and they were leaning in attentively. The staff is kind and knows their stuff

Great Military History Museum - Great place to visit in Chattanooga right by the Tennessee Aquarium. Very fair pricing for a place it’s easy to spend a few hours in. If you want to learn about the history of the Medal of Honor and many of its recipients then this is a must see.

This veteran is humbled - Just to learn the origin of the MOH is important for everyone, but especially we veterans. I was exceptionally pleased to speak at length with Stephen, then encouraged to join a group of young students (on the outskirts of the area) during a question and answer session with MOH recipient Ryan Tipps. I am retired AF and after a group picture with the kids, I got to introduce myself. I joked with Ryan about a comment he made to the kids. After just a couple short minutes, Ryan thanked me for MY service. After an awkward comeback of something like “and to you”, I expressed I’d been wanting to do something. I took a step back and rendered a proper, sharp salute. Without hesitation, Ryan came to attention and returned the salute. All military should know that regardless of rank or position, you render a salute to any recipient of the MOH. So, to be able to look this man in the eye and salute him even if I’m retired and in civilian clothes, what a honor and thrill for me. I love that recipients do frequent the heritage center. One of the kids asked Ryan if anyone has tried to steal the medal. With great humor, Ryan reached in his coat pocket to “check”. Then, it was an absolute thrill to watch him loosen his shirt and clip the medal around his neck, adjust his shirt and gathered the two classes of kids for a picture. Ryan gave each of the kids his personal Medal of Honor coin. I was jealous! During the visit, the person who welcomed me was so gracious! Then, when upstairs at the Doss exhibit, a gentleman who was performing a mix. task was equally eager to discuss more, in depth, about Desmond Doss. That was also a thrill. I will return with a friend from GA who has met several WWII era recipients, who will be equally blown away. Keep it up! MARK J TURCOTTE, Lt Col USAF, Retired

Wonderful Museum! - This is a new museum (2020) and very well organized as both my husband and father-in-law are veterans! We all enjoyed it very much! The Volunteers whom work the museum are very well informed and helpful. Take time to watch the short intro video as it brought tears to our eyes! As we seem to have lost our patriotism and virtue, the stories contained bring reality to those whom take the time to read and enjoy the numerous stories of those whom sacrificed so much! Hats off to you all for a well thought out and wonderful exhibition museum to understand what a Medal of Honor truly means!
