Very nice displays, knowledgeable staff and a relaxing environment where Veterans meet to socialize and enjoy each other's experiences from when they served.

I was glad to see all of the local Vets that have served from Lenoir county. I was amazed that 3 of us from the same graduation class at North Lenoir were on the same shop. USS Carl Vinson.

The museum is very nice. Not a lot of people there but it does feature the local in state veterans. Some wonderful history in which you can Kearney about the sacrifices made for their country. There are a lot of Medal of Honor recipients from the North Carolina area starting with the revolutionary war to the end of of Vietnam. There is a section that has been started for The Iraq and Afghanistan war. There is no entrance fee but donation are accepted. Come by and see the history of our state.

Amazing display of American History through pictures of local Veterans and their involvement in the wars America has endured.Make you laugh, Make you Cry, Will leave you Proud. Free to everyone. Supported by donations All Volunteer Staff of Veterans Free Art Class to Veterans and their Families. Art work is available to purchase. Proceeds help support Art Class. Great therapy for those that participate.

This is a beautiful museum in Kinston dedicated to all the veterans from Lenoir Country who served their country. Includes a gift shop, snacks, and a beautiful walkthrough of the museum. Whether you are visiting Kinston or you live here, I would highly recommend you take the time to visit the museum. The exhibits are constantly updated, and they tell the story of Lenoir County veterans from the American Revolution to the present. Definitely a must see to teach your children about the history of this country and those who made a difference.

You must visit! A small group of us stopped in for a few hours in July. Weren't sure what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised at the museum. Tons of artifacts and well done exhibits covering the many wars and military actions the US has been involved in. Loved the focus on NC folks (many of them local to the area) who have joined the various branches of military service. The volunteers were very friendly and enjoyed delving into stories about what we were looking at. The museum is large and well laid out. Even has a movie theatre, snack bar and gift shop. It also houses an art studio where military and their family can come. The focus is art therapy. All their art is on display and also can be purchased at a nominal price. The funds support the continuing work of the classes. Don't let the strip mall location deter you. This museum has some city and state support but operates on donations from visitors. Just go!

What a great way to show case the history, memories and honor the service men and women, who have served our country, past, present and deceased. A loving memory of my father, J P Carmon, who served in the Army in Korea and all service men and women who served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, I SALUTE YOU!

G I Joe's Military Living History Museum is an awesome place to learn about our local military history! Odds are you will see the picture of someone you know because we put up pictures of all our local veterans that we can get!! Fun for all ages!!
