Fort Douglas Museum Association 1130

Throughout American history, men and women have served their country in uniform, protecting our cherished way of life. Let us never forget their service or their sacrifices. Through exhibits, educational programming and publications, the Fort Douglas Military Museum seeks to engage and inform the public about Utah's rich military heritage. The Fort Douglas Museum Association is Charity Code 1130.

Fort Douglas is designated as a National Historical Landmark. Over one hundred original structures from 1863 through World War II are preserved by the University of Utah, the U.S. Army Reserve, and the Fort Douglas Museum.

The Fort Douglas Military Museum currently is one of only two sites in the nation to exhibit an authentic slurry wall artifact from New York City’s World Trade Center at Ground Zero. The permanent memorial, “UT6andALL” , commemorates the six Gold Star mothers who spearheaded the project, along with all of Utah’s Fallen Warriors. The Fort Douglas Memorial Park is now under construction with donated materials and labor from national and regional companies.

Exhibit opens October 22, 2013

Admission is free at the Fort Douglas Military Museum. Visitors will see an impressive collection of military artifacts, uniforms, firearms, tanks, canons and aircraft. 

This German Anti-tank Gun was captured by the US Army in WWII.
You can see where the retreating Germans sabotaged the breach to prevent 
“the enemy” from using it against them later.

There are volunteers who love to give tours and introduce people to the history that the museum preserves. In the summer they have reenactors come and show different uniforms and equipment dating back before the revolutionary war. Whether you love early Utah history, Military History, Aviation, Firearms, or you just enjoy learning; the Fort Douglas Museum is open to all. Our donations will help keep these treasures and this history for the next generation. fortdouglas.org
