The Museum of the Marine will bring to Jacksonville, NC a world class museum that will honor the contributions and sacrifices of Marines, their units, their families, and the Carolina communities that support them. Starting in 1941 with the establishment of Camp Lejeune and outposts throughout the Carolinas, we will showcase the many unique contributions of Carolina Marines.

The Museum of the Marine will present this rich history by utilizing high-tech, hands-on multimedia experiences, first-person reminiscences, recreated environments, and displays of materials and military equipment to dramatically tell stories within a historical context.

The Museum of the Marine will be a vital link connecting the past with the future. This experience will look at history through the eyes of the history-makers, celebrating the epic accomplishments of the Marine Corps, the humanity of the Marine, and the support of the Community for the Corps.
