Mission Statement

Description
The multi award-winning and critically acclaimed Armed Forces History Museum was established in 8/2008 and boasts the largest collection of military memorabilia in the Southeast within 50,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor space.
The musuem takes you on a journey through history beginning with the WWI trench up through present day conflict. You'll experience the feel of the trench, view actual film footage from the attack on Pearl Harbor, witness a number of fully operational vehicles, tanks, etc. and even peer through a working 42' foot submarine periscope. You'll hear the stories as told by the veterans themselves who recount their experiences from the front lines and listen to radio transmission emanating from a WWII communications center. Learn about Tampa Bays own war hero who posthumously received the Medal of Honor and learn about the incredible conditions our soldiers fought as you view the diorama of the Frozen Chosin. You'll walk the Ho Chi Minh trail as two vietnamese gaze from one side and American GI's trudge through a river on the other, carrying a wounded comrad. Pay tribute to our POWs and MIAs and see one of Saddam Hussein's uniforms. Ride our virtual voyager or climb on board and go for a ride on a WWII M8 Reconnaisance Vehicle. All this and much more awaits as you step into the past and honor the men and women who have served our country.
