About Us

The Veterans Memorial Museum was founded in 1995 and opened its first facility in Centralia Washington in 1997. It quickly grew in popularity, not only as a tourist destination, but also as a central hub for Veterans to gather and find community. In 2005, the Veterans Memorial Museum opened its current 22,000 sq. ft. facility that features:

• 9,000 sq ft gallery with over 85 display cases telling and preserving the stories of individual Veterans who served in both peacetime ad war from 1776 to today's most recent conflicts.

• Gift Shop where we sell everything from Veteran and Patriotic influenced hot sauces, T-shirts, ball caps, stickers, and toys. 

• 3,000 sq ft Jensen Memorial Events Center that can be rented to everything from business meetings, memorials, weddings, reunions, and more.

• Veterans Gathering Space where all Veterans and family are welcome to free coffee and treats.
