Examples of our military history exhibits.
Spanish-American War World War I A museum where history matters!
If you are looking for information on a relative who served in World War II, we have the service record books for all South Carolinians who served from 1941-1945. We also have a book that contains all of the names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC. Our military research library continues to grow each month.
Some of our unique items include a letter signed by the King of Belgium, sheet music signed by Theodore Roosevelt, a forage cap worn by a member of the 4th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry at the Battle of First Manassas, and a large photo of the 812th Ordnance Depot Base Company (World War II).
We are in the process of adding a page about the 42nd Bomb Group that served in the Pacific during World War II. Members of the group flew B-25's and many of them trained at Greenville Army Air Base. We recently acquired an A-2 leather jacket that belonged to a member of the 42nd Bomb Group. We are in the process of restoring its condition so that we can display it. Please contact our Chief Curator if you are seeking info on the 42nd BG.
We also have information on the 92nd BG and the 447th BG.
