Army Women's Museum

 U.S. Army Center of Military History

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH – U.S. ARMY WOMEN’S MUSEUM



The U.S. Army Women's Museum at Fort Gregg-Adams is the only museum in the world dedicated to Army women. The Museum honors women's contributions to the Army from the Revolutionary War to the present, telling their stories with interactive exhibits and videos throughout the gallery, as well as film presentations in our theater. The museum originated in 1955 as the Women's Army Corps Museum which was located at Fort McClellan, AL until it was moved to Fort Gregg-Adams (formerly Fort Lee), and reopened in May 2001.

The U.S. Army Women's Museum serves as an educational institution, providing military history training and instruction to soldiers, veterans and the civilian community. The museum is the custodian and repository of artifacts and archival material pertaining to the service of women across all branches and organizations of the U.S. Army from inception to the present day. The museum collects, preserves, manages, interprets and exhibits these unique artifacts as a means to provide training and educational outreach.

The U.S. Army Women’s Museum is a fully accredited museum by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM).
