Every Veteran Has a Story to Tell. 

The veterans in our lives will not be with us forever, but their service will inspire future generations. Their stories create a deeper understanding of their experiences, allowing us to apply the lessons of history to our own lives.

Stories are at the heart of the Veterans History Museum’s mission to honor, educate, and preserve.

Artifacts

In our galleries, every artifact, photograph, and exhibit tells a story of battles fought, sacrifices made, relationships forged.

Speakers

Through our Speakers Series, audiences learn the lessons of history through the compelling stories of notable authors on topics ranging from Pearl Harbor to the War on Terror.

Programs

In Coffee & Conversations, veterans enjoy camaraderie as they discuss their experiences and emotions in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Programs for the community offer unforgettable face-to-face opportunities for adults and children to meet and hear the stories of American heroes.

Newsletters, Tours, & Conversations

Weekly newsletters chronicle veterans’ experiences offering us a chance to see the world through their eyes. During informative gallery tours, our knowledgeable docents (we call them Pathfinders) lead visitors on a journey through history. And, after touring the galleries, guests often enjoy chatting with museum volunteers as they swap stories and share their anecdotes.

At the museum, every artifact has a story to tell.

 We Need You!

The Veterans History Museum operates entirely through volunteer labor. In 2022, volunteers contributed nearly 3,000 hours of their time. With an all-volunteer staff, 100% of your donation funds essential museum expenses and outreach programs. Your contribution honors America’s veterans and helps keep our doors open!
