The Alabama Center of Military
History Inc.,
which operates The Veterans Memorial Museum, is a non-profit, tax exempt (501c3) educational institution for
the purpose of historical preservation, public display, and public education. The
Museum is dedicated to promoting and disseminating the accomplishments of American
military men and women. Our emphasis is on participants of World War I and subsequent
conflicts, whose survivors and families can use the Museum facilities to reminisce on
their own experiences and those of parents, grandparents, and other close relatives.
The Museum has been designated by the
Alabama House of Representatives as the State of Alabama Veterans Memorial
Museum.
The Veterans Memorial Museum displays more than 30 historical military vehicles from World War I to the present, as well as tableaus, artifacts, and other memorabilia dating back to the Revolutionary War.
We
are open to the public Wednesday through
Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM (excluding
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day). Other
hours, for veteran or student groups, are
available by appointment. Admission is
$5 per adult, $4 for seniors, and $3 for
students under 18. Sorry, we are
not set up to take credit or debit cards.

Museum is not affiliated with the Veterans
