Mission Statement
To support the New Mexico Military Museum in all areas by preserving our legacy of honor, and educating on the cost of freedom. We do this by developing, promoting and enhancing the programs of the Museum; soliciting and providing private gifts and grants in support of the Museum’s highest priorities; and receiving, managing, distributing and investing private contributions exclusively for the benefit of the New Mexico Military Museum and its programs.
Description
The NM Military Museum provides exhibits and events honoring all branches of military service, focusing on contributions made by minorities, including Native Americans and women. Educational programs and exhibits are being developed to educate youth on the military service and sacrifices made by their families and friends to help defend our freedom. We will not only display artifacts, but actually tell the stories of the brave New Mexican men and women who valiantly served their country. The NM Military Museum now has the opportunity to increase exhibit and event usage in the current location by approximately 400%. Prior to this year, the building was shared with Santa Fe Performing Arts, but they have moved out, leaving us the entire building to enhance our cultural and educational outreach to the New Mexico Community.
