My visit lasted just over 4 hours but this included a quick lunch and a trip up to the top of the tower. The museum is very conveniently located to downtown and is literally across the street from the Amtrak train station for those who arrive by train as I did. There is a gift shop and a small cafeteria which I used to eat a quick lunch during my visit. Also, the museum takes you through the war chronologically from the beginning to the end. There were plenty of personal stories related to the war and it's aftermath. I walked through the museum and saw plenty of weapons, aircraft, a French tank and countless other items related to the war. The tower serves as a memorial to WWI that was constructed after the war. But, for another $5, you can take the elevator up to the tower and walk the final distance of 45 steps on your way to the top, which I did as it provided spectacular views of the city and it's surroundings. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to see the film. Visited the week before Thanksgiving and the admission was $18, but for another $10, you could see the 45 minute film on WWI prisoners.
