U.S. Army Transportation Museum

The U.S. Army Transportation Museum exhibits nearly 100 military vehicles across six acres, including aircraft, watercraft, and rolling stock in Newport News.

Opening in 1959 as a warehouse display of recruiting materials, the museum expanded with a main building in 1976 and an aviation pavilion in 1987.

The museum preserves the Transportation Corps legacy from the American Revolutionary War through modern operations in Afghanistan with comprehensive vehicle collections.

Visitors access 50,000 square feet of indoor exhibits, four outdoor parks, and a vehicle yard displaying military transport equipment throughout the week.

The museum features the Eve of Destruction gun truck and exhibits about Operation Mulberry, which created artificial harbors during the Normandy Invasion.
