National Museum of the United States Army

The National Museum of the United States Army is a military museum at Fort Belvoir displaying weapons, uniforms, documents, and personal items from soldiers spanning two centuries. The exhibitions cover major military campaigns and the everyday experiences of service members.

The museum opened in 2020 as the first centralized archive of complete United States Army history. It brought together collections that were previously scattered across different locations into one facility.

The museum tells stories through personal accounts of soldiers and their families, showing how military service shaped individual lives. These narratives help visitors connect with the human side of warfare and service.

The museum is located about 20 miles south of Washington and offers free admission, wheelchair accessibility, and ample parking. Visitors should plan for several hours to explore the extensive galleries at a comfortable pace.

The museum's street address is 1775 Liberty Drive, with the numbers referencing the founding year of the United States Army. The building sits near George Washington's Mount Vernon estate, the former home of America's first president.
