The first building is said to have caught fire and burned sometime during the early 1950s. In 1946, after the 82d Airborne Division returned to the states and started to call Fort Bragg home, the first museum began in one of the wooden office buildings in what is now called “the old Division area.” At first, there was not much inside of the building, which was good.
Inside the Division headquarters a trophy and news room held information about their war effort and the nation’s victory. Gavin began the concept of the museum in 1945, when the 82d Airborne Division received the honor of Occupation Duty in Berlin at the end of World War II. Please see the ‘Contact Us’ Section for directions to the museum. We are located on Fort Bragg, North Carolina in Building C-6841, 5108 Ardennes Street, 28310. The museum is dedicated to telling the history of the 82d Airborne Division from 1917 to the present.
