George C. Marshall Foundation

The George C. Marshall Foundation in Lexington, Virginia, honors the legacy of George Catlett Marshall, who was Army Chief of Staff during World War II, Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense following World War II and the only person to hold all three high offices.

The Foundation is located in Lexington, Virginia, and contains a library, archive, a museum and administrative offices dedicated to celebrating the legacy of George Catlett Marshall. The Foundation opened in 1964 in its own building on the post of and separate from the Virginia Military Institute, Marshall's alma mater. The Foundation offers educational programs and facilities for use by members, the general public, amateur historians, scholars, and students of all ages.

The non-profit, nonpartisan, independent Marshall Foundation is where the values that shaped and motivated Marshall are kept alive. As a unique resource, the Foundation perpetuates Marshall’s legacy as the person who “won the war and won the peace,” his leadership qualities and exemplary character through educational programs and facilities such as a world-class archives and research library and a museum that offer a wide range of resources and materials for use by members, the general public, amateur historians, scholars and students of all ages.

The Marshall Museum is open to the public and displays exhibits of Marshall's life and work in the entry hall and two adjacent galleries, one focused on his military career and the other on his achievements following World War II. Visitors will see the medallion and certificate of his 1953 Nobel Peace Prize. An admission fee is charged. The Museum is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Check website for hours.

The Marshall Foundation Library and Archives cover United States military & diplomatic history between the years of George Marshall's career as a military officer and public servant, roughly 1900-1960. Along with sorted paper collections, the library contains more than 23,000 manuscripts, two million documents including many from the National Archives and Records Administration, hundreds of era maps, thousands of photographs, 700 posters from all countries involved in both World Wars, films, and over 200 oral histories.
