National Infantry Museum, Ft. Benning, Columbus, Georgia, USA
The National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center is a museum located in Columbus, Georgia, just outside Fort Benning, the home of the infantry. The 190,000-square-foot museum opened in June 2009.
The facility tells the story of the United States Army infantryman, from the American Revolution to Afghanistan. The museum houses artifacts from all eras of American history and contains interactive multimedia exhibits. The National Infantry Museum emphasizes the values that are meant to define the infantryman, as well as the nation: loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage.
In addition to galleries, the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center also consists of:
• The Patriot Park IMAX Theatre
• NIM Sim Combat Simulators
• The EST2000 Rifle Range
• The Fife and Drum Restaurant
• The Soldier Store Gift Shop
• Heritage Walk
• Memorial Walk of Honor
Until April 2008, the museum was housed in an old army hospital on Fort Benning. Space and conditions for the museum’s collection was inadequate. There was a failed attempt to raise money for a new museum in the 1970s.[citation needed] In 1998, the 501(c)(3) National Infantry Foundation was formed to plan, raise funds and to operate a new museum. The National Infantry Foundation has since formed a formal partnership with the army to manage the facility and its contents. The National Infantry Museum does not receive federal, state or city funding. Through its lease agreement with the National Infantry Foundation, the army reimburses the foundation for approximately 30 percent of the mueum’s annual operating expenses. The museum relies on donations, memberships and revenue-generating attractions such as the IMAX theatre, combat simulators, Fife and Drum Restaurant, Soldier Store and catering to cover operating expenses.
In April 2012 – three years since opening – the museum welcomed its 1,000,000th visitor. It has received coverage in national and foreign media and it received the Thea Award from the Themed Entertainment Association in 2011.
In October 2013, first Lt. Ashley White and Capt. Jenny Moreno, who had been part of a pioneering all-women team recruited for special operations combat missions and had died on night raids in southern Afghanistan, became the first two women to be honored at the National Infantry Museum's Memorial Walk.

It's been a long time since I visited Fort Benning Georgia. The last time I was at Fort Benning, I was younger, skinnier, and in the best shape of my life. I've changed to say the least, but Fort Benning is better than ever!
Caroline and I paid a visit to Fort Benning as an after thought while on our way to making another video. Once we got there, we both wished we planned the whole trip around Fort Benning. Even though it's one of the best military installations in the world, it's a great place to visit for the whole family, particularly, The National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center. It's OUTSTANDING! Join Caroline and I at Fort Benning Georgia, Home of the Infantry! Links to follow

National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus Georgia
National Civil War Naval Museum
The National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus, located in Columbus, Georgia is a fantastic place to visit if you are a history buff, like me. This 40,000-square-foot facility features two original Civil War military naval vessels, uniforms, equipment and weapons used by the United States Navy and the Confederate States Navy forces.
The highlight of the museum is the 180-foot hull of C.S.S. Jackson (also known as C.S.S. Muscogee), a revolutionary developed ironclad warship ram put to fire in the Chattahoochee River by the Union Army troops of Gen. James H. Wilson and recovered from the muddy bed of the river in the 1960s. Also, on display are what's left of C.S.S. Chattahoochee and an intact rowboat from U.S.S. Hartford, famed flagship of Federal Admiral David Farragut at the naval Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864.
Two models of the warships U.S.S. Monitor and C.S.S Virginia (the former U.S.S. Merrimack steam frigate under construction at Gosport Navy Yard near Norfolk, Virginia, captured after scuttling April 1861 with the naval facilities), used in the TNT cable TV channel's 1991 film Ironclads, and recreated full-scale sections of three other War Between the States-era warships are among the hundreds of Civil War artifacts located in the museum (including sections of U.S. Navy Admiral David Farragut's U.S.S. Hartford including the berth deck, wardroom and captain's cabin).
Oh, by the way, they give fantastic personalized tours.
