Did it with my wife and family a couple of years ago, and it was mind bending... Knowing the significance of the poppy field added another dimension... Walking in the trenches display and watching films from that period was surreal. To know our history of constant war since we started recording history just blows my mind ~ we keep repeating it like a scratch record. No other species out of 8 million +/- species causes so much damage to itself and our little rock in space.... and spent sooo many resources to war and security. Any who, the museum is a great memorial to those that lived it, and died in it, and to remember.
I had the chance to visit this museum last month, amazing collection! Most people know about WW2 but very few know about The Great War. I will absolutely be coming back for another visit someday!
Looks like an excellent museum I’ve visited Vimy Ridge Thiepval and Douaumont but I was unaware of this US museum until recently. The site also features a series of lectures which are well worth checking out. Thank you
I congratulate you for the museum and the courage to have built it thousands of kilometers from the theater of war. War that saw the Americans employed in the terminal part of the conflict and in a serious way only on the French chessboard. In the Italian chessboard the US presence was more representative, despite Hemingway having written a book (he never actually found himself at the front and when he approached it he was wounded. His stay in the war lasted a few weeks). In fact, the one you built is a museum on the First World War in the Franco-Belgian chessboard, very different from the Austro-Italian conflict, fought even at 3000 meters, in the high mountains. I deduce this from the fact that you use as the date of the end of the conflict not November 4, the day of the surrender of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Italy. I am a great war military history buff as well as a collector. I live in Ravenna, where the Americans came to replace the Italians in the seaplane base of Porto Corsini in 1917. They also inherited the planes that had a beautiful white star as a symbol (symbol of the Italian seaplane squadron, whose motto was "UBI LUCEAT"). At the end of the war that star became the symbol of the US air force, which in Ravenna had its first air base outside its borders. I don't know what you have about the Italian chessboard. Usually the Anglo-Saxon historiography usually stands as creator of the world, purposely ignoring the existence of others in order not to highlight the merits and the work done.

I went there for my field trip, it was awesome!
Lora has a huge smile.
Thank you.
I have always wanted to visit the trenches in Europe. Before I do that, I will visit this place first.
