    This museum shows the history of the Quartermasters throughly. A lot of great displays that cover all era’s for this branch. The displays have great explanations to inform you what everything is inside the display. There is a little gift shop there to buy a few items from. The staff is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and very friendly to everyone that comes into the museum. I recommend this to everyone that comes to Fort Lee, even if you are not a part of this branch you will still enjoy this museum.

    Great museum with military artifacts from many wars. Have your drivers license ready to show at the gate, as you enter the base to get to the museum. $5.00 donation is requested to enter the museum. Nice gift shop also.

    This place was fantastic. They ask for donations but the price of admission is free. They had lots of really nice things all the way from 1800’s till present. A lot to look at and a lot of history. It was so neat to see all the things they had put together. The gift shop isn’t big and doesn’t have a ton of stuff but do have some things that catch the eye to buy. Loved to see the history behind the Army.

    Great museum. Hope they open the ordiance museum at some point. It's a shame to hide the Krupp 5 railway gun from WWII history buffs. Hint, Hint feds...

    Saturday, 15 July 2023 at 11:00 hrs... Many digital information stations were not working (or started). The Soldier on duty was standing by his vehicle outside (out of uniform... no head gear) smoking. As we finished and left, there were two Soldiers sitting at the desk (1 I PTs, 1 in multicam eating Burger King.) Neither were attempting to start those expensive digital information systems that out tax dollars were wasted on. I donated $20 on entry, but feel like I want it back now.

    Visited the museum as part of the Quartermaster Corps regimental day activities. It is updated and tells the story of this corps history in supporting the Army. The picture below is of the 12th Quartermaster Regiment (Philippine Scouts) colors, which were the only ones saved when the Philippine Islands fell to the Japanese. The regiment supported the Philippine Division during WWIi. Their colors were the only one

    You get a sense of the importance of logistics in all the aspects of sustaining the U.S. Army since 1775!

    Forced to go to my induction ceremony here and didn't want to go. After the ceremony i walked through the museum which is actually worth your time to visit. Lots of good displays and history here. One of the better branch museums I've been to. I'd go again.

    Beautiful museum that shows the history of the Quartermaster Corps

  • 5/5 Janalyn G. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a lovely museum, with something for every military history enthusiast, from every era of the United States' history. There were beautiful paintings, many important artifacts, a surprising number of vehicles and the interpretation was respectful and detailed. My favorite exhibits were General Eisenhower's 'Circus Wagon' from the Second World War and a painting of General Grant with his quartermasters at City Point, though the DUKW amphibious vehicle from the D-Day campaign and the Congressional model presented during plans for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were also meaningful and inspiring. You really don't grasp the size of the DUKW until you're just a breath away from it, and I actually felt a chill up my spine as I saw General Patton's Jeep, which is cleverly cordoned off by a double row of jerrie cans. There was even a little grave marker, next to a display of Civil War saddles, in memory of an Army horse called Apple Jack, which I found to be very sweet, and I liked that they showed how Army mules got their own gas masks. The hastily constructed catafalque, built for President Eisenhower's funeral, is displayed reverently near beautiful stained glass windows, with Jefferson Davis' funeral cortege nearby, but what really struck me was a little canvas personal effects bag, such as the Graves Commission used to return a fallen soldier's few things to their family. People who feel emotional at such sights would do well to bring a handkerchief. I was glad I visited without my daughter, (age three,) as some of the dioramas might prove unbearably tempting for younger children to touch (strictly prohibited!) and there was a delightful amount of reading, with signs for each exhibit, that I loved, but which a younger or less interested person might not enjoy as much. The Women's Museum next door is equally good and of special emotional significance for women, but I loved them both. Anyone with a fondness for logistics and the lesser-known side of military history will enjoy learning about the Quartermasters. The gift shop was also surprisingly nice, with several items priced low enough that a child visiting on a school field trip could buy a present for someone if they wanted to. (That's something I look for in gift shops, because nobody likes to take children to places that charge six weeks' allowance for the cheapest thing.) Overall, I'd say this museum is an excellent choice for older children and adults with an interest in military history and/or logistics.
