The National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) in Columbus, Ohio, represents a national initiative of profound importance for our nation’s 20+ million living Veterans. There was previously no single monument or museum dedicated to sharing the Veteran experience. With 30,000 square feet of exhibit space, this institution celebrates the service and honors the sacrifice of Veterans throughout history in war and peacetime.

The NVMM presents the Veteran experience through the lens of personal stories and life-changing experiences from which visitors will be inspired to learn more about our country’s history and actively engage in their own communities as informed citizens.
