National Infantry Museum

This museum offers visitors 30,000 square feet of exhibit space within an impressive historic masonry building that features large, well-lighted, carpeted galleries. Visitors are exposed to an ever-changing kaleidoscope of edged weapons, uniforms, footwear, mess equipment, helmets, and vehicles from a 1902 Studebaker Utility Wagon to the legendary Jeep. Also on display is a petrified tree, an 1825 coverlet, a document signed by John Hancock, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, a bust of Adolph Hitler, a gas mask for a horse, a Medal of Honor, a French tapestry, an M-1 Garand, Springfield musket, or M-16 rifle. The museum shows not only the weapons, uniforms, and personal equipment of U.S. infantrymen, but also that of the enemies who chose to test our resolve. The site also houses a 100-seat auditorium where a variety of films are shown daily, a gallery of military art, a gift shop, and a gallery which recalls the war that pit brother against brother.
