Military Heritage Museum It's an award-winning destination in Punta Gorda, FL. Visit the Hall of Hero's and its special Medal of Honor exhibit. Visit the War Room and Library.

The Military Heritage Museum, home of the Gulf Theater, brings 250 years of American military history to life through immersive exhibits, historic artifacts, veteran-led tours, and live performances. On the first level, take a walk-through history through three unique galleries; from the Revolutionary War through modern conflicts. On the second level become part of history, through simulations and virtual reality including aircraft, tank, and naval simulators. Take a parachute jump or drive a tank - two incredible virtual reality experiences. Visit our 247-seat theater and watch one of the movies or programs we feature every week.

Exciting News from Our Executive Director

Dear Museum Friends,

We have exciting news! The Military Heritage Museum has signed a new long-term lease, marking an important step in our future.

Having a place to carry this mission forward matters. It means we can continue honoring our veterans, preserving history, and bringing people together to learn from the stories of those who served. It gives us the opportunity to pass those stories on to future generations so they understand the service and sacrifice behind the freedoms we enjoy.

We cannot say enough about how welcoming and accommodating the new property owners have been. They want the Museum here. They see us as a valued community institution and a partner, and their willingness to work with us has made a real difference. We are grateful for their support and their belief in our mission.

To our volunteers, donors, members, and visitors, thank you. You make this work possible. Every hour you give, every contribution you make, and every visit helps keep these stories alive.

This is a milestone worth celebrating, and we look forward to building on it together!

With gratitude,

Isaac James
Executive Director
