This museum is great! There are exhibits for local veterans dating from WWI to present day. There is so much interesting and cool stuff and the owner has additional neat and touching stories about different pieces as well.
There's so much stuff to view and read that I'll definitely be going back again!!
This museum is free to view and runs completely on donations.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Veterans Memorial Museum last week and, WOW! What a treasure this is in Terre Haute! The owner, Brian, walked through the space with me and shared so many moving stories about veterans and the people he's met. This museum is a gift to the community and to those who served. I highly encourage everyone, including local residents, to spend some time there and soak in the history and honor those who served.

This was an impactful & emotional step back in history.
I went with a friend who was adding to a previous donation, it was an honor to accompany her & experience some of our local war history.
My own family have served in the military for generations with 2 fatalities of WWII & my own son participating in Operation Iraqi Freedom, I sincerely appreciate what Mr. Mundell is doing to preserve & honor veterans.
This stop in Terre Haute is well worth making, for all ages.

This museum is a blessing to the Wabash Valley. It has a great collection of items from several wars. Much of it is from local veterans which makes it even more interesting as you look through the collection. The owner is very nice and helpful. I would highly recommend for anyone and it is a great place to take children to let them learn about the sacrifices it took and continues to take to preserve our freedoms. My son and I enjoyed the visit.

Museum is absolutely amazing.. The owner Brian was there when i took my husband for a surprise day trip.. Brian gave us a private tour telling us about lots of the displays and stories behind them.. He is very personable and even took us for a short ride back to our car in his Willys Jeep.. This a fantastic museum ..

This museum is a great asset to Terre Haute. From World War 1 to the present time there are displays from local veterans. The uniform and equipment displays are well thought out and labeled. All branches of the service are represented. I just can't say enough nice nice things about Brian and what he has accomplished.

The owner was very kind and gave us a guided tour. He has collected military items since he was a kid. A growing portion of the collection is now donated. I learned some very interesting stories during my visit. My 15 year old daughter enjoyed the visit as well. I highly recommend allowing at least an hour on your visit. Plenty of parking in the area on Saturday's. I will return soon.

Finally got to go here and oh man! What an amazing place of the rich history of the wars and those who served. My eyes swelled with tears of the emotions knowing what so many went through and so much loss. Kudos to the guy in charge and thank you for collecting and sharing so much I'd never get to see.

This is a small museum but well worth visiting. It is free to the public but donations are appreciated. I believe it is only open on Saturdays. The man that runs the museum does so with such integrity for our Veterans. I volunteered there about a year ago and was blown away by all the memorabilia there from all branches of the military.
