About The Chaplains Museum

The Chaplains Museum, operated within Liberty University's Department of Humanities in Lynchburg, Virginia, collects artifacts and documents and presents exhibits on the service of U.S. military chaplains in camps, on battlefields, and in prison camps. Founded in 2005 as a private organization, it now also serves as a student lab for research, exhibit design, and collections care. Visitors can view exhibits on topics such as chaplains' hospital ministry, battlefield service, and homefront support for military families. The museum is on the terrace level of the Jerry Falwell Library.
