Two military veterans started the museum in 1984 with their personal collection of war artifacts.[5] At that time, the museum was housed in a small room of a warehouse at Camp Shelby.
In 2001, the present 23,000 sq ft (2,100 m2) facility was completed. The museum contains 16,000 sq ft (1,500 m2) of exhibits, 17,000 artifacts, 4,500 volumes of military history, and 2,000 historical documents.
