Established in August 2000, the U.S. Army Airborne & Special Operations Museum is more than a museum—it’s the nation’s premier destination for Airborne and Special Operations history. From the paratroopers of 1940 to the warriors of tomorrow, we capture and share the legacy of courage, skill, and sacrifice that defines these elite forces. Our mission: to honor, preserve, and inspire.
Plan Your Visit
For more than 80 years, America’s Airborne & Special Operations Soldiers have answered the call with courage and sacrifice. At the U.S. Army Airborne & Special Operations Museum, we share their stories with the world — and we keep admission free so every visitor can experience their legacy.
But preserving these exhibits, expanding programs, and inspiring future generations is only possible through the support of people like you.
A gift to the Legacy Fund keeps their stories alive — and right now, first-time donors double their impact with a dollar-for-dollar match thanks to the Prtizker Military Foundation.
The museum’s roof is being replaced after 25 years! As part of this project, temporary locked fencing will be installed this week in our small parking lot and a large portion of the adjacent lot to store construction supplies.
During this time, free on-site parking will be limited to approximately 40–50 spaces.
If our lot is full, there are several convenient downtown Fayetteville parking options available nearby. You can view a full map of public parking locations here.
We appreciate your patience as this important facility improvement is completed. We will share updates as we receive more information on the project timeline.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you to the museum!
