Fort Devens Museum

Fort Devens Museum Preserving and sharing the history of Camp Devens, Fort Devens, and the current Military Training Ce

The Fort Devens Museum grew from a need to preserve the history of the base after it was closed as an active duty installation in 1996. Incorporated in 2000, the museum collects, displays, and interprets the history of the land first known as Camp Devens and later Fort Devens. The museum draws from its collection of letters, photographs, uniforms, training manuals, and other ephemera from life at Devens to tell the stories of those who lived, trained, and worked here.
