Description

The Camp Blanding Museum was established in 1990 and currently features displays focused on Camp Blanding’s History and involvement during WWII.

On display you will find uniforms, weapons, equipment items, vehicles, and aircrafts dating back to the 1940’s. Our plans are to expand the museum to include displays for the Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and the Global War on Terror (Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom).
