La sala que más me gustó fue la dedicada a las guerras donde se encuentran las armas utilizadas por las tropas del general, los fusiles, revólveres, machetes y el principal: el cañón de artillería utilizado en la toma de la plaza de las Tunas y en el combate Loma de Hierro; llamándome la atención un fusil máuser arrebatado a los españoles.

Otra de las salas expositivas muestran la mascarilla, esquela mortuoria y la mesa donde fueron velados los restos de Calixto García además de dos imágenes en donde se aprecia la guardia de honor y el entierro militar que se le realizó cuando sus restos fueron trasladados hacía Holguín en el año 1980.
