About Camp Roberts Historical Museum

The museum serves as the archive for the history of one of the Army's large, long-running installations. Its two buildings hold exhibits on the land's early ranches and Salinan history, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and later National Guard deployments. The Main Museum includes a gift shop, a video room, a research library, and document and photo archives. The Annex displays many historic Army vehicles, plus exhibits on prisoners of war held at the camp, a D-Day display, and a stage-and-radio history. Visitors can also watch a 20-minute video on the camp's history and see a wall honoring celebrities who trained there. Because the camp is an active military post, access can be limited during heightened threat conditions, so checking with security before a visit is advised.
