We are building a 25,000 square foot museum showcasing the Marines and Sailors whose service to the Nation exemplifies honor, courage, and commitment. Further, the unique role of Camp Lejeune in preparation for World War II and amphibious operations was the foundation for our victory and the great Nation we have become. This outstanding legacy of service and community support continued after World War II and persevered through our Nation's every conflict. The story of the Carolina Marines and Sailors is compelling and worth of being told. Carolina Museum of the Marine will also provide an exciting new multipurpose venue for public and private events including military balls, promotion and retirement ceremonies, reenlistments, weddings, and civic events.
Construction will begin in the spring of 2024 with doors opening in early 2026. Meet the Marine. Be Inspired.
