The American Wartime Museum™ will be unlike any other museum in our country:

• We will tell the stories of veterans from all military branches as well as corresponding units of the Reserves and National Guard.
• We will share the wartime experiences of Americans on the home front who supported our men and women in uniform.
• We will cover all major conflicts of the 20^th and 21^st centuries, including World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War and Iraq/Afghanistan.
• We will have a collection of over 100 operational military vehicles that visitors will be able to see in action and explore firsthand.
• We will tell outdoor stories of wartime experience in the outdoors.
• We will honor and serve millions of American veterans through the National Veterans Visitor Center and Veterans Recording Studio.
• We will offer an interactive experience where visitors can learn about their heritage, their nation’s unique wartime experience and the contributions of their fellow citizens.

Located just 23 miles from the nation’s capital and along the dynamic “Corridor of Military History,” the American Wartime Museum will illustrate how the nation’s wars have changed the lives of our citizens and defined the character of our country.

The Museum’s leadership team and our many partners are dedicated to making the American Wartime Museum a reality. We will open our doors on Veterans Day, November 11, 2014.  But we can’t do it without you. As you learn more about the Museum and its mission, we encourage you to get involved. Tell us your story of wartime experience, share your photos, become a member, attend our events – be a part of the American Wartime Museum!
