Paul Allen is the most enthusiastic museum curator I've met. He took the time to get to know us in order to share what we'd find interesting in the museum. We learned so much about Frederick Douglass that we found a new appreciation for the Civil War and the role Baltimore played. We highly recommend visiting Paul!

Loved it. Great place to learn about civil war history, and Baltimore. It's small inside but huge on history. The gentleman who is at the front desk is a gem.

This is the best hidden gem of the city! I took my son and I here today for one of the greatest museum moments we've had together. Mr. Paul Allen is such a kind, attentive, and well versed in History especially Baltimore history. My son Dominic and Paul had quite the conversation about President Lincoln. If you love history like we do then by all means go visit the museum. Thank you again Paul Allen for your hospitality, and kindness. Bill Lanasa Baltimore Md

Outstanding museum! A must see for anyone looking for a bit of Baltimore and U.S. history. Learn about a part of U.S. history that is just not taught in the schools any more. I came across this place and spent the next hour reading about Maryland in the Civil War on Wikipedia. Don't miss this place.

Cute, cheap, small museum! $3 to get in, the guy at the front desk was friendly, and it was wasn't the most organized place but it was nice stop while walking through the city.

The gems 💎 of history that you stumble on when you take a walk instead of driving 😲

It’s been a minute since I’ve been back but this museum is a diamond in the rough. While it’s small it still packs a punch. Paul Allen was really nice. My daughter really enjoyed his tour and information. He was patient and very knowledgeable. I feel like I could of stayed for hours. I really liked the personal attention and the fact that Abraham Lincoln was actually there. Great educational place for kids. I recommend this place. I would recommend calling before showing up

Small museum, but worth the $3 admission.
