While it started as a museum to honor World War II veterans, the museum has expanded to include conflicts from the Civil War forward and serviceman from all branches of service. Visit us to learn more about the heroic men and women who have served our country in times of war and peace.
Through programming and educational outreach we meet our mission of preserving the memories of America’s military history and facilitating the stories of veterans for the benefit and education of generations to come.
You can also watch a livestream of our Coffee and Conversation presentations on our YouTube channel.
