National Museum of Patriotism

Capitalizing on the swelling of patriotic feelings after 9/11, The National Museum of Patriotism in Atlanta, Georgia takes the visitor through some of the events that have made the United States what it is today. Exhibits include a Hall of Patriots, Symbols of America, the Olympics, First Responders and more. Although it’s easy to be cynical about this “national” museum being in Atlanta rather than New York or DC and the view of history presented within its halls is straight out of high school textbooks (with any impropriety completely absent), the museum does a good job of instilling a valuable sense of national pride.
