GeorgiaThe Fort Stewart Museum, also known as the 3rd Infantry Division Museum, is an Army museum on Fort Stewart near Hinesville in coastal Georgia, home of the storied 3rd Infantry Division, the "Rock of the Marne." Its collection encompasses more than 5,000 objects documenting the history of the installation, which grew from World War II-era Camp Stewart into the largest Army post east of the Mississippi River. Galleries trace the base's origins alongside the combat record of the 3rd Infantry Division from World War I through the present, as well as the history of nearby Hunter Army Airfield. Exhibits mix interactive displays with uniforms, weapons, personal effects, and larger equipment such as tanks and helicopters, and the museum has planned expansions covering aviation and military vehicles.
