Our vast collection of artifacts donated over the past 100 years gives Soldiers & Sailors Memorial & Museum a unique platform to interpret American military history by telling stories of individuals who served our country since the Civil War through our current era. Artifacts are the genesis for our storytelling exploring such themes as what American military personnel wore, carried and brought home, allowing visitors to better understand military experience in the context of national and world history. The collection also is rich in works of art connected to individuals and their experiences.
