Virginia Military Institute Museum
The VMI Museum collects, preserves, interprets, and exhibits the heritage of VMI as recorded in the 20,000 artifact collection. Many items in the collection have been presented by the individuals who used them (“One of my VMI web belts Mama kept” reads a handwritten note penned by WWII Gen. George Patton, VMI Class of 1907).
From the mounted hide of Little Sorrel, “Stonewall” Jackson’s favorite horse, to the seven Medals of Honor awarded to VMI alumni, the museum chronicles the story of the nation’s first state-sponsored military college. Special exhibits on the career of Gen. George C. Marshall, VMI Class of 1901, known as the “Architect of Victory” during WWII and author of the “Marshall Plan,” and the world-class Stewart Firearms Collection are featured in the museum.
Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
