Military.com | By Richard Sisk
After years of planning and construction delays, the National Museum of the U.S. Army will open next June. It is billed as the first in the nation to tell the 244-year-old story of the Army and the 30 million soldiers who have served since 1775.
The opening date has been postponed several times, but the Army said in a news release Wednesday that this time it's going to happen: On June 4, the doors will open to the 185,000-square-foot main building on an 84-acre campus at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, about 30 minutes south of Washington, D.C.

In a visit to the museum site, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, a former Army lieutenant colonel and West Point graduate, said, "The theme of this impressive project is spot-on: the epic story of individual soldiers throughout the history of our republic."
