Chaguaramas Military Museum, Trinidad

There is beauty in history.

Everyday is a great day for exploring Trinidad's many hidden treasures.  
These photos were taken in August 2014 at Chaguaramas Military Museum. Thats the place in Chaguaramas with the huge BWIA plane parked outside. The plane is actually part of the museum.  Outside the museum there are lots of cannons and huge weapons, old military vehicles and old aviation equipment.  Its a very interesting and exciting scenery especially for the kids. Inside the museum is filled with hundreds of artifacts. The museum is built around the theme, "Five hundred years of Military History." This museum encompasses interesting sights and facts in a fun way. 
The Military Museum is perfect for a school field trip and random sightseeing.  
However,  not much people are aware that it exists and as a result of the lack of exposure the place has not been up kept. Since they don't make much money to take care of the place.  
Its sad to see such a place with soo much history heading towards possible extinction.
