The facility was built in 1936 prior to World War II, as a military armory for Company E, 167th Infantry Division. Built under the Works Progress Act (WPA), the building was constructed of local rough limestone. With its distinctive castellated (castle-like) architecture, the Museum sits on a tree-covered hilltop adjacent to Guntersville’s highly rated city Library and overlooking the acclaimed Whole Backstage Community Theatre.

We are deeply grateful to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center for loaning us such a meaningful item and helping us keep alive the memory of those whose lives changed forever that day.

Today marks the 25th Anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a day that changed our country forever.

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center solemnly honors and remembers the lives we lost and those who bravely responded to the tragic events in New York City and Washington D.C. We are humbled to have a fragment from the damage to the Pentagon in our permanent collection. Currently on loan to the Guntersville Museum, the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command and Redstone Arsenal presented the piece and its accompanying plaque to Brig. Gen. (Ret.) Larry Capps, then CEO of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, for his “unwavering support of the U.S. Army and our Nation.”
