United States Army Women’s Museum

Exterior of the U.S. Army Women’s Museum at Fort Lee, Virginia.

The U.S. Army Women's Museum, located at Fort Lee, Virginia, is the only museum in the world dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of women in the Army. The facility was established in 1955 as the Women’s Army Corps Museum and resided for more than forty years at Fort McClellan, Alabama. After a move and a name change, the museum was reopened in May 2001 as the U.S. Army Women’s Museum. With a renovation and expansion in 2018, the museum now honors women's contributions to the Army from 1775 to the present with state-of-the art exhibits and programs.
