Established in August 2000, the U.S. Army Airborne & Special Operations Museum is more than a museum—it’s the nation’s premier destination for Airborne and Special Operations history. From the paratroopers of 1940 to the warriors of tomorrow, we capture and share the legacy of courage, skill, and sacrifice that defines these elite forces. Our mission: to honor, preserve, and inspire.

For more than 80 years, America’s Airborne & Special Operations Soldiers have answered the call with courage and sacrifice. At the U.S. Army Airborne & Special Operations Museum, we share their stories with the world — and we keep admission free so every visitor can experience their legacy.
But preserving these exhibits, expanding programs, and inspiring future generations is only possible through the support of people like you.
A gift to the Legacy Fund keeps their stories alive — and right now, first-time donors double their impact with a dollar-for-dollar match thanks to the Prtizker Military Foundation.
