Fort Lewis Military Museum |
The mission of the Fort Lewis Military Museum is to collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret the history of Fort Lewis, the units which served there, and the story of the US Army in the Pacific Northwest.
The museum is housed in the old Fort Lewis Inn, originally constructed in 1918 by the Salvation Army and used as a lodge and social center for soldiers and visitors to the Camp.
In 1973 the structure became the home of the Fort Lewis Military Museum. It is supported by the Friends of the Fort Lewis Museum, a volunteer organization.
The museum, reached from Exit 120 on I-5, is open Wed-Sun, noon to 4:00, closed federal holidays. Admission is free.
This is just one of the many Historical Museums located throughout Washington. Click here for additional Historic Military Installations.
