Step into living history with the Sons of Liberty Museum, where every artifact whispers the untold stories of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication. From the Revolutionary War patriots who first dared to dream of freedom to today's modern warriors defending liberty across the globe, we're the guardians of their incredible stories.
We don't just preserve artifacts; we resurrect the heartbeats of heroes, the tears of families, and the triumph of the human spirit in its darkest hours. Ready to experience history like never before? Our mobile museum brings the battlefield to your classroom, the foxhole to your front door, and the courage of generations directly into the hearts of tomorrow's leaders.
With an expansive collection of military artifacts dating from the Revolutionary War to the present day conflicts we can tailor programs to meet the interest of each audience. Uniforms, gear, weapons, medals, ribbons, photos, scrapbooks, periodicals, papers and battlefield relics preserve rich historical stories. This collection continues to grow and we welcome donations from all branches of service, Army, Army Air Corps, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and including the Coast Guard, Merchant Marine and the new Space Force. We also house artifacts from the service academies, military schools and persons who worked on the homefront during wartime. We are a WWI museum, a WW2 museum, Korean War museum, Vietnam War museum and a Desert Storm, OIF/OEF Museum all rolled into one and much more.
Exhibits and equipment are props that aid in storytelling melding history and personal service. For those that would like to learn more about a variety of topics, explore the Military A to Z section of this site where you will find studies on D-Day the Invasion of Normandy, Battle of the Bulge, Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, the Vietnam War and much more.
The Sons of Liberty represented groups of patriots in the American Revolution. Throughout the history of the United States there have been sons and daughters that continued this tradition; they are those that served in the military.

Where Every Story Matters, Every Sacrifice Counts
Imagine holding the same Purple Heart that was given to a grieving mother. Picture touching the weathered fatigues that survived the jungles of Vietnam. Feel the weight of a Medal of Honor that represents the ultimate act of heroism. This isn't just history—this is the soul of America, preserved in our hands and shared through our hearts.
The Sons of Liberty Museum exists because we believe that freedom isn't free, and the price paid deserves to be remembered, honored, and passed down through generations. We are more than curators; we are the voice for the voiceless, the memory for the forgotten, and the bridge between sacrifice and gratitude.
Behind every artifact lies a human story that will make you laugh, cry, and stand a little taller. Our collection doesn't just display military history—it resurrects the very souls who made that history possible. From a Revolutionary War musket ball to a modern soldier's dog tags, each piece connects you to a moment when someone chose courage over comfort, duty over ease. We are Custodians of Family Histories.
Magazines, Newspapers, Posters and Books are some of the artifacts in this military history museum.

Where Sacred Meets Spectacular
Every piece in our collection has a heartbeat. These aren't just objects—they're time capsules containing the DNA of courage, the fingerprints of heroes, and the tears of those who loved them. When you experience our collection, you're not just looking at history; you're touching the very essence of what makes America extraordinary.
Stand in the presence of uniforms worn by Medal of Honor recipients—men and women who looked death in the eye and chose honor instead of safety. Touch the fabric that absorbed their sweat, their fears, and their unwavering determination to protect others. These aren't just clothes; they're the sacred robes of American heroism.
Discover the incredible legacy of families who answered freedom's call across three generations. Witness World War I dog tags passed down to World War II Purple Hearts, then carried forward to Vietnam service records. These collections prove that heroism isn't an accident—it's a family tradition, a genetic code of courage passed from father to son, mother to daughter.
Our Gulf War and recent conflict artifacts prove that heroism didn't die with the Greatest Generation—it evolved, adapted, and continues to thrive. From desert camouflage to digital communications equipment, see how modern technology serves the same timeless values of duty, honor, country and sacrifice.
Experience rare artifacts from America's most elite warriors—Green Berets, Special Forces, MACV-SOG units whose missions were so classified that a few of their stories are only now being told. These items carry the weight of covert operations, impossible odds, and the kind of courage that legends are made of.
In our most sacred space, witness Purple Hearts awarded to those who gave everything. These aren't just medals—they're crystallized grief, transformed pain, and the physical manifestation of ultimate sacrifice. Every Purple Heart represents a family forever changed, a community forever grateful, and a nation forever indebted. We cannot forget, we must not forget, we will not forget.
Explore over 500,000 web pages of military histories, veteran honor rolls, and ongoing research into Missing in Action personnel. Through our partnership with MIARN, we're not just preserving the past—we're actively working to bring closure to families still waiting for answers.

Bringing History to Life, One School at a Time
Did you know that D-Day's success depended on weather mathematics? That artillery requires geometry? That Navy navigation demands astronomy? Our STEM-HG programs reveal how science, technology, engineering, and math have always been the secret weapons of victory. We make learning irresistible by showing how heroes used these skills to change the world.
Forget field trips! Our USH-Constitution (MM-1776) mobile museum is a time machine that parks right at your school's front door. We transform ordinary classrooms into hands on labs, turning students into time travelers who walk alongside Washington, charge with Patton, and serve with today's heroes. Learning has never been this thrilling!
Forget everything you think you know about history education. Our mobile museum doesn't just visit your school—it transforms it into a portal through time! Imagine your students' faces when they realize they're holding actual pieces of history, standing next to uniforms and artifacts of heroes they have only read about, and discovering that the past isn't past at all—it's alive, breathing, and more relevant than ever.
Picture this: Your students walk into what looks like an ordinary classroom, but suddenly they're transported to Normandy Beach on D-Day. They're holding the same type of equipment carried by the first soldiers to storm Utah Beach. They're reading letters from home written by young men who never made it back. They're not just learning about history—they're living it, breathing it, becoming part of it.
School Year Special - Your Students Deserve This! The school bells are ringing, and we're ready to make this year unforgettable! We're actively seeking partners, donors, and supporters who believe that education should ignite passion, not just fill textbooks. In less than one year we celebrate our country's 250th birthday, so let's teach some history!
