The Alabama Center of Military History Inc., which operates The Veterans Memorial Museum, is a non-profit, tax exempt (501c3) educational institution for the purpose of historical preservation, public display, and public education.  The Museum is dedicated to promoting and disseminating the accomplishments of American military men and women. Our emphasis is on participants of World War I and subsequent conflicts, whose survivors and families can use the Museum facilities to reminisce on their own experiences and those of parents, grandparents, and other close relatives.  The Museum has been designated by the Alabama House of Representatives as the State of Alabama Veterans Memorial Museum. 

The Veterans Memorial Museum displays more than 30 historical military vehicles from World War I to the present, as well as tableaus, artifacts, and other memorabilia dating back to the Revolutionary War.

We are open to the public Wednesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM.  Other hours, for veteran or student groups, are available by appointment.  Admission is $5 per adult, $4 for seniors, and $3 for students under 18.  

Please take time to visit our News page, where we discuss current happenings, new acquisitions, and opportunities for volunteers.  

Picture of the Month

We have recently participated in the 'rescue' of UH1C 66-0623.  This Huey has a verified record of participating in the Vietnam War as a gunship.  Due to present workload, restoration is beyond the present capability of the Museum, but we hope to get the support of helicopter vets who flew this or similar ships.
