The Lewis Army Museum is located in the Historic Red Shield Inn on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). The Lewis Army Museum is the only certified U.S. Army Museum on the West Coast. The Museum preserves and interprets historic artifacts relevant to Camp Lewis, Fort Lewis, and the role that the United States Army has played in the exploration, defense and development of the Pacific Northwest.

During 2017 the museum went through a major redesign. New exhibits feature full-scale dioramas, as well as immersive and interactive experiences.

The Lewis Gallery interprets the establishment of Camp Lewis and the history of Fort Lewis over the years.

The museum also features approximately an acre of outdoor exhibits which include a UH-1 "Huey" Helicopter, various experimental vehicle prototypes and armored vehicles.
