Built in 1840 to protect a frontier state from attack by Native Americans, this former arsenal building witnessed pivotal exchanges between Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War. It later became the birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur. Through exhibits and programming, the museum ensures that, “Old soldiers never die.”
