The George C. Marshall Museum profiles our first 5-star general, US Army Chief of Staff during World War II, the "organizer of victory," and "father of the Jeep."
Following the showing of an introductory video, you are free to conduct a self-guided tour. Marshall’s early years in Uniontown, PA, at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, VA and his Army service before and during World War I are in the main lobby. The Organizer of Victory gallery focuses on General Marshall’s leadership, including his many contributions to winning World War II. The Soldier of Peace gallery features Marshall’s Nobel Peace Prize for the Marshall Plan.
The lower gallery contains our Marshall Legacy Series exhibits.
Be sure to climb into our 1943 Jeep Willy and take a picture!
