82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum

The 82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum is located at Fort Liberty and holds over 5,000 military artifacts from various conflicts. The collection includes weapons, uniforms, an aircraft, and other equipment displayed through interactive exhibitions.

The museum was founded in 1945 after the division completed occupation duties in Berlin following World War II. It was created to document the history of this airborne unit and its role across multiple military campaigns.

The museum displays uniforms, insignia, and personal items from soldiers across different eras, showing how equipment and tactics evolved. Visitors can trace the changing role of airborne forces through these everyday objects left behind by those who served.

Visitors need to bring a photo ID to access the Fort Liberty grounds where the museum is located. Plan your visit for Tuesday through Saturday when the facility is open to the public.

The collection includes personal items seized from Manuel Noriega during a major international military operation. The museum also preserves an aircraft that was previously flown by an elite demonstration team from the armed forces.
