i recently took a friend who just returned from the navy threw the park. overall it was well worth the visit. however, i felt that overall, the interpretive elements were lacking.

in the main building, the interpretive signage and exhibits were clearly a in-house, and somewhat homemade affair. the overall impression i had was that the interior spaces were an afterthought (or funding had run out).

the artifacts themselves (ie, a plane, iraqi equipment, maps) makes an imposing and memorable impression. however, without a professional, concise and clear explanation i moved the main building relatively quickly. i imagine that somebody who wasnt a museum nerd or very interested in the topics presented would only give this space a 5 minute visit.

i hope a new exhibit plan is in the works, and this was just a temporary arrangement, although there was nothing to indicate that.

i took my navy friend through the park not threw. sry 'bout that. me not grammar goodly.
