marine corps league ne detachment museum

Excellent learning center. Took the cub scouts and they extremely enjoy the museum along with the adults. Employees were very polite and took time to talk to the scouts.

This was a stop for our visit to Scranton and we enjoyed it very much.we got a tour of the downstairs Museum.It has some interesting artifacts and displays of Marine Corp history.It was all displayed and organized well.If you like military stuff as I do then this place is for you.After our tour we went upstairs and had a few beers with the Commandant and a few of the locals.If you plan to visit be sure to call first and make sure that someone is there to show you around.The Hospitality was Great and next time I come back for a visit to Steamtown this place is on my list.We Loved it!!

Neat to see the museum in the basement. Make sure you can get down to see everything.

We love this place: new and old Marines gather here to exchange stories, build community, share a drink and build a very interesting museum on the history of the Marine Corps.I learned about the story of local WWII hero Gino Merli (the town of Peckville, PA named a street after him). When we left, I looked at the building and lo, it's WPA built (1936 or 1937).
