The Fort Douglas Military was establish to keep and preserve the stories of the many Utahns who have served this great nation and today we would like to recognize those heroes. When you visit us at Fort Douglas you will likely be greeted by one of the many veterans who volunteer their time to the museum. Take the time today to thank the veterans in you community and visit us to hear the stories preserved by the museum. Happy Veterans day!

Happy 161st birthday to Historic Fort Douglas!

161 years ago, Colonel P. Edward Connor marched through Salt Lake City to what is now the Fort Douglas Post Cemetery and set up camp. This would be the establishment of a civil war post with many assumed purposes ranging from the monitoring of the LDS population down in the Valley, to establishing a close military presence to the native populations and protecting both money and communications. Whatever the official reasons may be, this would begin a thriving military presence within Utah which would include Hill Air Force Base, Dugway Proving Grounds, and the temporary "Little Pentagon" which became the home of the 9th Service Command during World War II, among others.

Visit us today to learn more about the history of military in Utah and how we have left our mark on the world.

Our July Patriotic Extravaganza Sale is going all through July!
So if you missed your chance today to pick up your firework table cloth weights for only $3.00, that's ok, you can come pick up any of our items to show your patriotic pride.

We are sad to announce that our beautifully decorated cutting boards are the very last of our inventory. The dear veteran, Don Pullan, who hand made them, has passed away. They are one of a kind, but once they are gone, they are gone.

Our plastic flags for $1.00 are great for kids and parade waving.

We only have four coasters left for your summer BBQ's. Don't leave rings on your tables!

The cut out stars are great for decorations or craft supplies.

And then there is our lovely wooden home decoration "Stars and Stripes Forever" sign.

Come support Utah's Military Museum, while also showing your support for the Red, White, and Blue.
