Mission Statement

Welcome to Ghosts of the Battlefield! Nestled in Virginia Beach, VA, our museum is dedicated to the rich military history of the United States armed forces. Established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2022, Ghosts of the Battlefield has been passionately curating and showcasing historic military artifacts for over 25 years, committed to preserving and sharing the heritage of the United States Military.

Our museum's mission and vision draw upon a profound 200 years of collective experience within the military history community. An integral part of our approach is the immersive environment we create for our visitors. According to a comprehensive 2012 study by The Museum Group, museums like ours offer a unique and positive setting that greatly enhances learning. The study highlights that whether it’s for children or adults, engaging with real artifacts, dioramas, and immersive exhibitions significantly enriches learning experiences and deepens historical understanding for all ages.
