About Us

Our Mission

To collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret the history of the Quartermaster Corps from 1775 to the present.

The Museum

The museum's origins can be traced to the late 19th century, when General Montgomery C. Meigs initiated a small collection of items related to quartermasters.

In 1953, the Quartermaster School at Fort Lee, Virginia, organized a collection of reproduction period uniforms for use in the school’s courses of instruction on uniform fitting and sizing.

The museum was officially established in February 1957, with these uniforms and donations of quartermaster-related items forming the core of the collection.

The 20,000-square-foot main museum building was completed in June 1963. Construction was funded by private contributions and loans to the Quartermaster Memorial Corporation.

In October 1993, the museum added a 1,200-square-foot, 100-seat multipurpose auditorium dedicated to Major General Robert M. Littlejohn.

In June 1998, a 4,200-square-foot research and learning center was completed and dedicated to Major General Joseph E. Pieklik.

In 2013, a new 4,000 sq. ft. multi-use addition was added to the back entrance of the museum, and serves as the museum’s education facility. In 2024, it was dedicated to Colonel Robert C. Barrett
