About Carolina Museum of the Marine
The Carolina Museum of the Marine is building a 25,000-square-foot museum dedicated to honoring the brave Marines and Sailors who have served our nation with courage and commitment. More than just a museum, this landmark destination will offer inspirational exhibits, resources, and unique educational programs through the Al Gray Marine Leadership Forum.
“We have an overarching opportunity to provide a forward-thinking museum designed to ensure that the contributions of our Carolina Marines and Sailors to our Nation’s freedom are remembered, to teach young and old alike the virtue in understanding what made our great Nation a leader of the free world, and to help prepare our young people to lead, to follow, and to embrace future challenges.”
— General Al Gray, USMC (Ret), 29th Commandant of the United States Marine Corps
