​The Veterans Memorial Museum in Laurel, MS is a 6,000
square foot historical masterpiece nestled among the
towering pines of Jones County. ​Founded in 1996,
​the museum moved to its ​permanent home
on Hillcrest Drive in 2005. The museum is home to thousands of military artifacts
and memorabilia that reflect the service and sacrifice
of countless courageous service men and women.

​​Each treasure

on display has been donated by
local veterans and their families, as well as
those throughout our nation and abroad.​

​​The museum is home to an extensive reference library which includes books, periodicals, newspapers, documentaries, and movies of the military genre. Veterans and volunteers offer individual and group tours daily. Special programs are provided for pre-planned groups, such as schools, churches, and civic organizations. The museum also offers guest speakers, book signings, ​reenactments, and special events. The memorial/monument brick walls, commemorating many of our veterans, greets you as you arrive at the museum. Each brick is etched with the name and any other desired information of a veteran. These beautiful engraved bricks may be purchased by anyone wishing to honor a veteran. For additional information, see any museum volunteer, visit the front desk, or call the museum.
