The OMM Volunteer Corps includes three main volunteer groups: Visitor Services/Historic Park, Library/Archives, and Shop/Restoration.

The Oregon Military Museum is located at the Oregon National Guard’s Camp Withycombe in Clackamas, OR. Part of the Oregon Military Department, the museum closed in 2008 and has since moved into its new site and currently in preparation of fully opening the museum galleries, library, and program spaces.
