The Hall of Flame is over 35,000 square feet. It contains four large main galleries, one smaller secondary gallery, a theater, and the National Hall of Heroes.

• The museum offers free parking to all visitors in the lot located to the south of the main building.
• The parking lot is secure and monitored 24/7 for the safety of all staff and patrons.

Our museum is wheelchair accessible.

In July of 2022, the Hall of Flame Museum hosted the “motor rally” portion of the National Veterans Wheelchair Games. The National Veterans Wheelchair Games is the world’s largest annual wheelchair sports event solely for military veterans from around the United States. Every year, hundreds of American heroes from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the post-9/11 era compete in this celebration of courage and camaraderie.

We do not allow personal pets.

However, service animals specifically trained to assist an individual with a disability are welcome.

Please read the following from the Americans with Disabilities Act for further information on service animal qualifications:

• Starting on March 15th, 2011, only canines are recognized as service animals under the ADA titles II and III.
• Service animals are defined as canines which are individually trained to perform work or do tasks for folks who have disabilities.
  • Instances of this type of task or work includes guiding individuals who are blind, pulling a wheelchair, alerting those who are deaf, protecting and alerting someone who’s experiencing a seizure, reminding someone who has mental illness to ingest prescribed meds, calming someone who has PTSD during his/her anxiety attack, or doing other tasks.
• Service animals have to be leashed, harnessed, or tethered, unless those devices interfere with a service animal’s work or the person’s disability prevents the use of those devices, under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
• Dogs whose only function includes providing emotional support or comfort don’t qualify as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

We are always looking for new and unique items to fills holes in our collection. Due to space constraints, however, we must be selective in which items will most benefit the museum’s educational goals.

This information will be used by our Collection Committee, comprised of our Curator of Education, Museum Registrar, and the Museum Director, to evaluate the item’s educational and historical suitability.

If the committee approves the donation, a museum representative will contact you to arrange a time for you to drop off your item and receive the Deed of Gift paperwork needed for tax purposes.

DO NOT DROP OFF ITEMS WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL.

Any items received without prior approval will be denied, returned to donor, or discarded by appropriate means.
