Located in Punta Gorda Fl, the Military Heritage Museum’s purpose is to honor all who serve. From the Revolutionary War through modern conflicts, and across all five military branches, the Museum utilizes multiple methods to educate its visitors on the heritage aspects of US military history. Through a blend of integrating its twenty thousand plus artifacts, veteran museum guides, flight and ship simulators, graphics, live performance, and audiovisual; the Museum provides unique innovative experiences throughout its 17,000 sqft. facility. Designed to be a great family-friendly attraction, with a “you can’t get anywhere else” experience!
On the first level, take a walk-through history through three unique galleries; from the Revolutionary War through modern conflicts. Visit the Hall of Heroes and its special Medal of Honor exhibit. With thousands of artifacts, graphics, videos, realistic dioramas and touch screens, the gallery experience is unparalleled in southwest Florida.
