Established by President Abraham Lincoln in 1861, the Medal of Honor is our nation’s highest recognition of valor in combat. The National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, serves as the premier national institution dedicated to the stories, impact, and legacy of the service members who went on to become Medal of Honor recipients.

The museum’s footprint encompasses 100,000+ square feet, cornering five acres of waterfront in Arlington, Texas, and includes 31,000 square feet of exhibition galleries, as well as dedicated space for meetings, symposiums, memorials, and ceremonies. The museum serves as headquarters of the National Medal of Honor Institute.
