Historical context

About this institution

Camp Blanding Museum & Memorial Park preserves the history of the major Florida training installation that prepared hundreds of thousands of troops, including nine infantry divisions, during World War II. The museum occupies a restored World War II barracks, while the surrounding memorial park extends interpretation outdoors through monuments and military equipment.

Why it matters to Medal of Honor research

The museum offers a different kind of Medal of Honor connection: a place-based memorial linking recipients to the training histories of multiple divisions rather than to a single collection object.
