African American Military History Museum, Military history museum in Hattiesburg, United States.

The African American Military History Museum is a military museum in downtown Hattiesburg, Mississippi, dedicated to documenting the service of African American soldiers across the history of the United States. It displays uniforms, medals, weapons, personal letters, and official documents covering conflicts from the 18th century onward.

The building opened in 1942 as a USO Club for African American soldiers stationed at Camp Shelby, built with support from both Black and White residents of Hattiesburg. It served as a recreation and social centre until 1946, later housed the N.R. Burger Center, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Renovation as a museum was completed in 2009, and after an EF-4 tornado damaged the roof in 2013 it reopened in February 2014.

The museum gives voice to soldiers whose service was long overlooked, displaying personal letters, photographs, and objects that belonged to real people. These items connect visitors to stories that rarely appear in mainstream accounts of American military history.

The museum is located in downtown Hattiesburg and can be reached on foot from most central points. It does not open every day, so checking the schedule before going will save time.

The building was constructed in 1942 specifically to serve as a USO club for African American soldiers stationed at Camp Shelby, and it had the support of both Black and White residents of Hattiesburg. It is a T-shaped wood-frame structure with a central brick chimney.
