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.

The Museum is housed in the Paul Bolden Military Museum Building, leased from the City of Huntsville.  The lease will expire in 2010, and the City Administration has informed the Museum staff that the building is not in the City Master Plan.  The Museum anticipates that the lease will not be renewed, and the City is looking for an alternative facility to which the Museum can move.

We are open to the public Wednesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM.  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.  

Please take time to visit our News page, where we discuss current happenings, new acquisitions, and opportunities for volunteers.
