Columbus, Ga (WRBL) – The National Infantry Museum has won the top prize in the “USA Today” 10-best readers’ choice for best free museum for the past 2 years.

The museum, which opened in 2009, features an extensive collection of artifacts, displays, and interactive exhibits that take visitors through the history of America’s infantry.
As back-to-back winners of the national award for best free museum, the Vice President of Operations reflected on what a third award would mean.

“To win this award for the third year in a row. Not only would it make the staff feel good, but it really speaks to us being relevant and being able to connect with a generation or some that’s far removed from any form of conflict. It really speaks to as a whole when we talk about sharing knowledge and understanding what it means to serve,” said Martin S. Celestine Jr. President of Operations for the N.I.M.
