This was a great tour and definitely provided some background for our history. The only issue was that it was a lengthy tour. Had it been 45 minutes shorter, we would have enjoyed it a little more.
Glad we added this to our list, very interesting & we did the audio which is very easy so that saved us a lot of reading
Having been a youth at that time the museum brought back many memories of that tragic event. I also learned a lot of the details surrounding the visit. And it is sobering to stand in the same room...
