Currahee Military Museum - Museum in Toccoa - 160 N Alexander St, USA

Astonishing amount of fascinating history and amazing artifacts in a smaller museum.. very impressive and I look forward to returning!

My son was born on June 6 so I took him to this museum because it's Exhibits are focused around world war 2 but primarily D-day and what happened. It it also has a complete historical barracks that was used during World War II that they converted a horse stable into. Then took it apart piece by piece and flew it back over here and reassemble it. So it's a really great museum. We had a really good time wasn't rushed but was there probably from opening to almost closing if you have a chance to go.

Honoring the men who sacrificed so much for our freedom, the Curahee Military Museum is worth a visit. If you've watched the Band of Brothers series, you need to see this museum. You'll recognize faces and names from the series as you browse the displays in the museum. The museum has distinct sections that give history of the local area, including info about the Civil War, Cherokee, local industry, local celebrities and more. The last section is the Military Museum. There's lots to see and read, including a large wooden stable relocated from England. Some of the men who trained at Camp Toccoa spent time in this stable when they were waiting to be deployed during the war. We went on a Friday morning and were the only people in the museum the entire time. It must be more crowded on the weekends. The parking lot is large enough for a good sized crowd. If you are a WWII history buff, you'll want to make a visit.

Went with my veteran BF and we had a wonderful experience. So much history and knowledge in such a small place. They have big expansion plans and you can see how much work they have put into it already. Highly recommend going if you or anyone you love has served.

Really really interesting, if you're into history. There were guns, stables used in war reassembled in GA, a lot of WW2 memorabilia, among other intriguing things. Would be interesting for kids to see and learn from. I personally would definitely recommend!

Wonderful Museum. We had a wonderful time there. We were able to take our time walking through and enjoy all of the items on display. Thank you for your work there and for keeping our history alive and caring for it!

It is a relatively small museum, mainly local history. The original (non-military) museum is still there, housed in the train station. Plan about 30-45 minutes for a visit. Worth seeing if you’re in the area, but don’t make a special trip. The town of Toccoa has gained renewed interest thanks to the popular HBO series “Band of Brothers”. Around 2010, after enough money was raised, an addition to the older museum was built… which houses the “military museum“. This new section showcases how the area around Toccoa became known during WW2 for it’s Army paratrooper training base.

Such a great museum in a small town. I would totally recommend a visit. We didn't have high hopes but everything was well done!
