Pensacola Museum

Rumor has it that they going to build a new road and put up fenching.
So you should be able to visit the Museum

Fantastic news!

I have seen a comment that the museum/ USN might construct a dedicated road to the museum to make it easier/ quicker for non US visitors to visit the museum?

Apologies for 'bumping' this thread but I have just enquired about UK citizens visiting the Pensacola Museum, the reply today was:-

'Per the U.S. Navy and the Department of Defense, non-U.S. Citizens are authorized access to NAS Pensacola but Must be escorted by a U.S. citizen known to them. The U.S. citizen will have a background check conducted upon arrival at the gate and must be the motor vehicle operator.'

So, it doesn't look likely, anytime soon, which is a great shame as it is such a good museum.
