One of Petersburg's oldest museum collections (founded in 1756), the museum displays weapons and military objects from 15th century firearms to ballistic missles. Inside is a store where you can buy military-ish things like tin soldiers, replicas of old uniforms, and model planes. There are tanks, trucks, and artillery guns out front for the kiddies to play on.
