U.S. Cavalry Museum

The U.S. Cavalry Museum displays military artifacts, uniforms, weapons, and photographs documenting the evolution of cavalry units throughout American military history.

Fort Riley, established in 1853, served as a strategic base during the territorial period of Kansas and hosted the first territorial legislature in 1855.

The museum preserves the traditions and experiences of cavalry soldiers through exhibits featuring personal items, equipment, and documentation from various military campaigns.

Visitors entering Fort Riley must present valid photo identification and vehicle registration at security checkpoints before accessing the museum located at 205 Henry Avenue.

The facility occupies the original 1855 base hospital building and maintains collections spanning from the Revolutionary War until the end of mounted cavalry in 1942.
