Woodman Institute Museum
Woodman Institute Museum, Historical museum complex in Dover, United States.
The Woodman Institute Museum encompasses three Federal-style brick houses and maintains extensive collections of natural history specimens, military artifacts, and local heritage items.
Annie E. Woodman established the museum in 1915 with a $100,000 bequest to create an educational institution focusing on history, science, and arts.
The museum maintains collections of Native American artifacts, colonial furniture, and military equipment from every conflict involving the United States military forces.
