Chappie James Museum of Pensacola

My family and I had the pleasure of visiting the Chappie James museum. It may be one of the best done and most educational museums I have been to. Despite it's small size, the knowledge imparted by the guide was amazing and the hospitality displayed by the entire staff was second to none. I highly recommend visiting this museum if you live in or are visiting Pensacola.

This is a really cool place and I'm glad the money has been invested to preserve this piece of history. There's plenty of free parking in the lot in the back. They're only open certain days but I highly suggest checking it out. A very cool piece of Pensacola history. Thank you.

Wasn't open on my visit but loved reading displays.

This is an excellent little museum. Call ahead and schedule a time. The docents are very knowledgeable and engaging. This is a squared away professional museum for a the squared away James family. The tour was free, but donate some money to help them continue their endeavor. This museum needs an F-4 static display, someone in Pensacola has connections that could make this happen.

This museum is a great opportunity for any child. My grandson attend and is going to make the air force his career in another 2 years.

I have not visited yet but am thrilled to read this living memorial exists. I knew General James and his lovely wife Dottie well. He lived across the street from me at Scott AFB as a Lt. Gen. and we corresponded through my college days until his passing. Truly a great American, patriot, and friend. Thanks for establishing this awesome tribute!

Mr. Carlton did an amazing job highlighting the General's extraordinary life, family, and accomplishments. Highly recommend making the stop at the FREE museum!

My nephews, Nicko & Donte really enjoyed learning about General Daniel "Chappie" James. What a fantastic legacy Gen. James left for young black males to have right in their hometown of Pensacola. My mom and I garnered a lot of new information about Gen. James from our visit as well. Seeing "Chappie's First Steps" reminded me of being a young girl growing up in Pensacola and wondering what the landmark meant. Gen. Chappie James was a true American Hero.
