[Annie, 04/27/2023]West Point Museum: War Booty
Open since 1854. Designated by Presidential Order as the permanent depository of America's war trophies. There's a lot of them to see: Adolf Hitler's handgun, a Fat Man atomic bomb (and the safety plug pulled on an identical bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki), the cannon that fired the first American shot of World War I, the last note written by George Armstrong Custer, George Washington's pistols, Napoleon's sword, Geronimo's rifle... you get the idea.
