The National Medal of Honor Museum is a museum that honors United States Armed Forces Medal of Honor recipients, founded and funded by the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation.[1] The museum is scheduled to open on March 25, 2025[2] in Arlington, Texas, with groundbreaking beginning in March 2022.[3] Previously, the group decided to build the museum in Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant[4] but decided on Arlington later.[5]

The location was announced on October 4, 2019, concluding a 5-year, nationwide competition that included Denver, New York City, San Diego, and Washington, D.C. It is projected to cost $150 million and open in 2024.[6]
