The Museum
Housed in a state-of-the-art museum, The Center for Military History is a museum, hands-on classroom space, and research center rolled into one. By touching actual artifacts, exploring unique primary research documents, and learning the personal stories behind the objects, history truly comes to life for students and visitors.
Boys’ Latin students in all divisions explore interactive exhibits of authentic uniforms, equipment, diaries and more through lectures and interactive classes in history, literature, physics, forensics, and visual art. The Center for Military History also offers unique Upper School electives in leadership and a seniors-only Museum Curator class.

“Students learn best when it’s personal, when they can see and feel it. I teach them about their brothers that sat in these classrooms and fields and what they did for their country.”
