Camp Roberts, California

Culture, General, History, Library, Military, Specialized

The Camp Roberts Historical Museum does not drift into the mainstream of museums, with every exhibit locked away behind glass. Instead, the visitor drifts among the epochs of the camp's enormous history, in an intimate association with the subject. Even the buildings and surroundings are kept primitive to some noticeable extent in order to imbue in the visitor a sense of the historic. It is experiential. It's not a product. It's not a showcase. It's a virtual fairground of important soldier history. And important visitors from the world over have commented that it is one of the most fascinating, well-designed, informative and interesting museum in the nation.
