Before you make your visit to the museum, be sure to check our hours of business along with location of the museum. While Auburn is a quaint little town there are other museums to visit and some historic houses on Main Street that are worth a drive by. Then when you are hungry there are quite a few unique places to eat and then head to the antique shops in town.

The World War II Victory Museum was established in 1999 through the generosity of its founders, the Dean V. Kruse family of Auburn, IN. The World War II Victory Museum contains one of the world's most impressive collections of artifacts from the Second World War.

Formerly the WWII Victory Museum, the National Military History Center contains one of the largest, most captivating collections of WWII artifacts ever assembled. Our mission is to emphasize preservation, education and inspiration by spotlighting the personalities, technologies and conflicts that have defined America’s military from the Revolutionary War through today.
