NATIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR MUSEUM

The National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas will serve as the premier national institution dedicated to the stories, impact, and legacy of the service members who went on to become Medal of Honor recipients.

Neither a war memorial nor a military museum, the National Medal of Honor Museum is a humbling endeavor that will take visitors on a narrative journey through the life stories of ordinary people who made extraordinary choices above and beyond the call of duty.

The museum footprint encompasses over 100,000 square feet, cornering five acres of waterfront in Arlington, Texas.

Over 31,000 square feet of Exhibition Galleries as well as dedicated spaces for meetings, symposiums, memorials, and ceremonies.

The museum is also headquarters of the National Medal of Honor Griffin Institute, an organization that addresses our nation’s character gap and fills it by focusing on the values and valor of the Medal of Honor and all who have earned it. For more information, visit www.mohmueseum.org.
