Welcome to the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum
Since 1957 the Quartermaster Museum has preserved the history and heritage of the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps, the Army's oldest logistic branch. From the Revolution to the Persian Gulf, America's secret weapon is the one that keeps soldiers supplied with food, water, clothing, fuel, shelter and other things they can't survive combat without. This weapon is the Quartermaster Corps, and at the Quartermaster Museum, you’ll see how it’s sustained American soldiers since 1775.
- You’ll see how the U.S. Army lived and were fed throughout our country’s history.
- What the original model for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier looks like.
- How the “Cracker Line” may have won the Battle of Chattanooga.
- How to whip up a quick breakfast for 100. Or how to feed, rearm, and re-equip 170,000 soldiers a day.
- Why a US Naval Ship is named after the Quartermaster Private.
- And why General George Washington called the Quartermaster Corps the “department on which all the operations of an army essentially depend.”
