Regional Military Museum

Missouri Civil War Museum

The museum explicitly lists a permanent Medal of Honor Exhibit alongside its broader Civil War interpretation. Its public exhibits list does not identify specific original medals or named recipient-linked artifacts, so the archive does not invent holder-recipient connections until primary evidence is available.
