Just another comment that this small, niche museum is worth a visit. I’ve been twice, once when visiting Ft. Meade on business and once when passing through DC.

The thing that impressed me is the typewriter-size Enigma machines of legend, and the multiple-refrigerator-size Bombe nearby that decoded the Enigma output. Seeing the actual hardware makes an impression that reading stories can’t get to.




I would love to visit and try out those machines. Very cool! :)
