Mississippi Armed Forces Museum, Military museum at Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, US.

The Mississippi Armed Forces Museum is a military museum located at Camp Shelby that houses eight galleries with equipment, weapons, uniforms, and decorations. Outside, aircraft and tanks are on display to show the development of military technology.

The museum started in 1984 as a small collection of war artifacts stored in a Camp Shelby warehouse. It grew into a dedicated facility that documents the military history of the region.

The museum's stated purpose is to honour the service and sacrifices of Mississippi veterans of all military branches. Its eight indoor galleries run from late 19th-century conflicts through World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and the global war on terrorism to a Medal of Honor gallery, with weapons, equipment, clothing and medals on display.

The museum is easily accessed from the main road of Camp Shelby and has paved walkways between the outdoor exhibits. Plan to spend about two to three hours to comfortably explore the indoor galleries and outdoor displays.

The Medal of Honor gallery is one of the museum's eight indoor galleries, alongside those for the World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and the global war on terrorism. The museum holds 17,000 artifacts and 4,500 volumes of military history, gathered since two veterans began it in 1984.
