West Point Museum is our oldest federal museum. Its origins can be traced to the American Revolution. Captured artillery pieces, small arms and accouterments brought to West Point became training aids for the fledging Corps of Cadets and the Revolutionary War artillery park at Fort Clinton was a tourist attraction despite the relative isolation of the area in the late 18th century.

Exhibits

History of West Point - Beginning with the garrisoning of West Point during the Revolutionary War, this display chronicles the Garrison of West Point and the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Large Weapons - On the lowest level of the West Point Museum are several over-sized displays ranging from artillery pieces to a First World War tank. Highlighted are two murals by a D-Day veteran depicting the Allied Invasion of Europe in 1944, an atomic bomb of the type dropped on Nagasaki and the cannon which fired the first American shot of World War I.

Small Weapons - In this balcony exhibit, the history of hand-held weaponry is traced from the Stone Age club to modern automatic firearms. Specimens chosen for their rarity, history or condition show the evolution of axes, clubs, swords, pole arms, shoulder arms, light machine guns and pistols.
